Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.64,0:00:29.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so accessibility becomes a very\Nimportant value at the university.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.72,0:00:45.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Tracy Mitrano) We're a \Nleading university globally.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.30,0:00:54.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we want to be sure \Nif that talent has a disability
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.90,0:00:57.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that they know that we \Nare a welcoming community.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.40,0:01:02.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Pablo Molina) We are competing with other \Nprestigious and highly accomplished institutions.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.40,0:01:12.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to join our community regardless \Nof their disability status.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.01,0:01:17.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Edward Ray) In fact we genuinely believe that \Nexcellence is achieved through diversity
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.03,0:01:20.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that a commitment \Nto equity and inclusion
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.83,0:01:24.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really enriches each of our lives.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.07,0:01:26.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Michael Young) What the university \Noffers and makes available
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.40,0:01:28.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,has to be offered to everybody.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.20,0:01:32.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We can't afford to waste the talents or the brilliance \Nor the minds of anybody
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.20,0:01:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and making things accessible
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.00,0:01:38.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,allows everybody to engage in the university.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.50,0:01:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Tracy Mitrano) Think about accommodation as really \Nthe beginning of the conversation about disability.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.00,0:01:48.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was the appropriate measure that was\Ntaken in the Americans with Disabilities Act
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.84,0:01:54.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that was passed in 1990 \Nand that's well over a generation ago.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.20,0:01:57.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think now we really \Nhave to think less about
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.30,0:01:58.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how we're going to measure
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.78,0:02:02.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,specifically this accommodation and\Nthat accommodation
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.24,0:02:06.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and recognize that we can make accessibility \Nopen and available
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.47,0:02:09.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that individual staff, \Nfaculty, or students
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.45,0:02:11.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,do not have to go \Nto get an accommodation.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.79,0:02:14.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It will be automatically available
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.39,0:02:18.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the web page that they visit, \Nin the device that they use.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.36,0:02:20.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Gerry Hanley) The first\Nstep really needs to be
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.28,0:02:24.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an assessment of where we are
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.02,0:02:26.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we can then inform our planning\Nprocess,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.52,0:02:29.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,develop plans, \Nimplement a project,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.74,0:02:32.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then really assess \Nthe results of it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.71,0:02:36.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Pablo Molinda) Key to our approach \Nto making sure that our campus
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.59,0:02:39.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and our technology is accessible \Nto people with disabilities
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.90,0:02:42.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to ensure we do this by design.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.70,0:02:47.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is not an afterthought that we do \Nafter we have implemented a new classroom.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.89,0:02:53.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Instead this is something that we do from the \Ninitial conception of a new project or idea.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.83,0:02:57.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The same way we do this for\Nprivacy and security
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.40,0:02:59.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we do this for accessibility.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.98,0:03:02.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Tracy Mitrano) A policy\Nreally is an important way to go
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.11,0:03:05.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it will focus everyone's\Nattention.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.38,0:03:09.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's also probably the way that you have\Nto go now that there are legal pressures
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.26,0:03:11.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on higher education in this area.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.80,0:03:15.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The second thing I would say about policy is
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.20,0:03:17.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there really are two types in general.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.40,0:03:20.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One is a policy that you have \Nbecause you have a law.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.32,0:03:24.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, the Family Education Rights\NPrivacy Act policy.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.61,0:03:27.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you want to be clear and sure
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.85,0:03:30.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you're going to have \Ncompliance on your campus.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.12,0:03:34.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's another kind of policy \Nthat I would call aspirational policy.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.48,0:03:37.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And maybe accessibility \Nfits a little bit in both.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.50,0:03:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But you most certainly can err \Non the aspirational side.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.02,0:03:45.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,An aspirational policy is something \Nyou establish for your institution
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.40,0:03:48.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as a path moving toward something, \Nmoving forward.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.70,0:03:52.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It does not have to have \N100 percent compliance
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.16,0:03:56.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's really a direction that you're \Nsetting strategically for your institution.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.13,0:04:03.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Gerry Hanley) We begin with our vendors saying \N(a) this is not only important,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.29,0:04:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that this is required \Nfor working with the CSU.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.00,0:04:11.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Every student who comes \Ninto our institution
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.10,0:04:15.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have to provide equally effective \Naccess to those service
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.20,0:04:19.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you are a partner \Nin delivering those services to us.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.18,0:04:22.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we will tell you \Nwhat we need
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.66,0:04:28.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then we will help you \Ninform your staff, educate your staff,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.58,0:04:33.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,provide them some consultation and guidance \Nin partnership with us
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.70,0:04:37.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so you can deliver \Nthe successful service for us.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.10,0:04:41.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Bruce Maas) If we go about things \Nin an ad hoc approach, one by one,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.20,0:04:43.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're not likely \Nto get the same results
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.30,0:04:47.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as if we work together as a community \Nin higher education
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.70,0:04:51.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to work with vendors \Nto improve accessibility for everyone
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.40,0:04:53.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with regard to the products \Nthat are offered.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.50,0:04:59.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's a much more pragmatic approach, \Nrather than institution by institution.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.64,0:05:05.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Gerry Hanley) Making accessibility a priority \Nin their development roadmap
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.14,0:05:09.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is going to be driven \Nby the market demand
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.20,0:05:13.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if an institution \Nnever says a word,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.00,0:05:16.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the vendor isn't gonna \Ndo anything about it.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.80,0:05:20.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if we begin to communicate \Nour demands collectively,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.70,0:05:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then the vendor will recognize \Nthe market value of accessibility.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.00,0:05:27.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Michael Young) Accessibility requires effort \Non the part of everyone
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.40,0:05:31.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the higher education community \N- faculty, staff, technology vendors.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.70,0:05:35.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we all do our part, \Nour institutions can provide everyone
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.10,0:05:37.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with an equal opportunity \Nto participate
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.42,0:05:41.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we all benefit from the \Nperspectives of a diverse group.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.12,0:05:45.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Edward Ray) I would say to those out there \Nwho are just getting started
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.50,0:05:49.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or may be struggling to figure out \Nhow to use technology
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.40,0:05:54.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to advance accessibility \Non their campuses that
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.00,0:05:57.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's no such thing \Nas a bad time to start.
