Abstract

Winter 2026 Under ADA Title II requirements, all digital content must be accessible to everyone by April 24, 2026. To learn more about SUNY’s accessibility initiatives and resources available to help faculty, staff, and students meet the compliance deadline, Jie Zhang and Alithia Alleyne, members of the UFS Communications Committee, interviewed Kim Scalzo, Senior Associate Provost for Digital Innovation and Academic Services (DIAS) at SUNY System Administration; Bruce Simon, UFS President; and Logan Rath, Chair of the UFS Operations Committee and President of the SUNY Brockport Senate in Fall 2025. As UFS President Simon reminds us: “Accessibility is more than compliance. It is a commitment to equity and academic excellence. Universal design benefits all learners and strengthens the integrity of SUNY’s educational mission.”
