Surviving An ADA Accessibility Audit

[jar546]

I found this paper (here in PDF for Supporters and Sawhorses) that has a lot of information on ADA compliance for universities. It starts out like this:

During the past 10 years, the Department of Justice has greatly increased its focus upon

ADA building and campus accessibility issues involving institutions of higher education.

Likewise, the Office for Civil Rights has remained active in addressing not only program

but also physical accessibility issues involving public institutions -- and parallel allegations

of failure to comply with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.1

• Many colleges and universities, however, exhibit persistent issues regarding barrier removal,

alterations to existing facilities, and construction of new facilities that fully comply with

applicable provisions of ADAAG and new ADAAG2 (as well as UFAS, FHA and local

building and fire codes).

It is by sharing background data like this that we all grow in knowledge and the value of the Forum increases..
