The DOJ issued a new rule requiring public colleges and universities to meet WCAG 2.1 standards in about 2 years. This rule applies to instructional content, which has previously been exempt. This requirement is a big step forward for accessibility but it will require universities to dedicate resources to making their web content and documents accessible. It should also lead to these institutions embracing a more proactive approach in the future. #accessibility
