What this law does
Rule 3339-19-08 of the Ohio Administrative Code uses WCAG 2.0 Level AA to determine the accessibility of Miami University's web content. Since , every new and redeveloped web page, web application and web content the university creates on the websites and subdomains of its academic divisions, academic departments and administrative offices must conform to WCAG 2.0 Level AA.
Content created and published on or after January 2012 was to conform by June 2018, and a page published before January 2012 must be made accessible on the request of a qualified student with a disability. The websites, web pages and web applications the university provides to registered student organizations must conform to WCAG 2.0 Level AA and must not block or interfere with accessibility features in uploaded content.
Web technology or software the university procures for use by its students must conform to the relevant accessibility standards as long as the technology is commercially available and its purchase causes no undue financial and administrative burden or fundamental alteration. Where a product meets some but not all of those standards, the university procures the one that best meets them unless an exception applies, and only the procurement review committee may grant an exception.
