<p>If it's linked to the course, then it has to be accessible. A professor's personal pages shouldn't be linked if they aren't making them accessible, especially since some of them like to be funny and slip some of their personal content into an exam as extra
credit. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p></p>
<p>For instance: Professor creates personal contact page, but he hires his neighbors best friend's cousin's recently graduated son who's pretty good in web design, but really just creates all buttons as images cause he can make flashy interactive buttons as
shown in high school. <span> He places all content in an image to prevent bots from extracting his contact details and sending spam, but also places details about office hours and offline contact details, all behind an image.
</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you give any leeway on this, professors will use third party web vendors to get out of providing accessible content.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I’d think it depends on the content and context of the faculty site. If it is a math professor’s personal page, where the page is not under the edu domain, detailing his love
of opera or hobbies, then I probably wouldn’t worry about it. However if it contains course related material or information students need to acquire for a course, the student must receive the same benefits or service as other students.
