<p class="MsoNormal">In the forty years I worked at the University of Washington, most IT accessibility roles were within UW-IT, our central IT organization. However, recently, a position focused on accessible IT opened within the Office of the ADA Coordinator
within Compliance and Risk Services.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are interested in finding out a bit about how institutions are organizing IT Accessibility roles within your educational institutions. Are they housed within your IT infrastructure? Are they a part of compliance teams? If any of you
would be willing to share we would love to hear.<o:p></o:p></p>
