Sorry for sounding naive but isn't UCB a private company? I hate to say but "this is why we can't have nice things". We are trying to move into an age of more digital education, but if there are a bunch of hoops to jump through in order to even attempt it, won't the barrier to trying be too high for some institutions?
- thaumasiotes 10y ago> Sorry for sounding naive but isn't UCB a private company? No. University of California, Berkeley is a part of the University of California system, not a private company.
- vizeroth 10y agoTo expand on this, the government of California requires the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) systems to comply with the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act of 1974 (if you've ever heard of 508 compliance, it's a reference to section 508 of the latter Act). In recent years, both systems have been expanding their efforts to comply with this requirement, especially in regards to technology. (The CSU system includes not only the schools with CSU or Cal State prefixes, but also most of the schools with State or SU suffixes, including SFSU, SJSU, and SDSU.)
