<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning all – I’m seeking campuses/systems with procurement policies that emphasize the importance of accessibility. I’m especially interested in other university
<i>systems</i> who have developed such a policy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How did you go about writing/revamping a procurement policy that includes accessibility?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What is the appropriate language to be included in RFPs, RFQs, etc? How did you determine this was appropriate language?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you require VPATs from vendors?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you require that products be tested by users with disabilities?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you have an exemption policy?<o:p></o:p></p>
