<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Jeff,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the University of TN in Knoxville, it is my impression that most of our IT accessibility expertise lies with our instructional designers in our online learning programs. And I know there is at least one person who really focuses on accessibility
from her role inside our main IT infrastructure. But I’m the only person I know of on campus with “accessibility” actually baked into their job title (who works solely with digital accessibility, not the built environment), and I’m inside the library testing
electronic subscription resources for conformance. I used to be part of the UT compliance team, and I am not sure how accessibility has been handled there since I moved to the library. But my own ignorance about others’ roles at UTK might be more a reflection
of how spread out we are – maybe there are more of us than I know about on campus?<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>
