CSUEB Implements

"The Accessible Technology Initiative"

A Message From our President

The Project

Cal State East Bay has embraced the Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI) presented in a Coded Memorandum from the Chancellor's Office in October of 2006. CSU East Bay responded by assigning leadership to guide our campus through the planning and implementation of the ATI to be completed by 2011. Coded memorandum AA-2007-04 (PDF) titled "Access to Electronic and Information Technology for Persons with Disabilities" provides detailed information about this initiative.

The implementation of the ATI insures that faculty and staff will provide

1. accessible course materials
2. design accessible web sites, and
3. purchase universally designed and accessible products

The success of the ATI at CSUEB requires everyone’s support and participation in working smarter and more universally. The ATI Planning Team will ensure that plans are created and implemented with the necessary support and resources to achieve our task. This web site is designed to provide everyone with information and resources about the ATI. If you have any suggestions or want to contribute to the web site please contact: Jean Wells at jean.wells@csueastbay.edu.

The Leadership

The CSUEB ATI Planning Team has been meeting twice a month since November 2007 to develop plans for implementing the ATI on the CSUEB campuses.
