In accordance with the SUNY Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) Accessibility Policy, Buffalo State College has established a Campus Accessibility Team. As chief diversity officer and EIT accessibility officer, I have charged the team as follows:

Charge
The Campus Accessibility Team will assist the electronic and information technology (EIT) accessibility officer in developing and implementing standards of accessibility on campus to promote a community of practice that supports all students, faculty, and staff members. With representation from all areas on campus, the accessibility team will provide ongoing guidance for issuing, updating, and enforcing any requirements, standards, or guidelines supported by SUNY policy or required by law. To that end, the accessibility team will accomplish the following:

• Work with the EIT accessibility officer to develop an Accessibility Plan to promote ongoing, inclusive access for individuals with disabilities. This plan is required by the SUNY EIT Accessibility Policy (Document No. 6901) to be completed by June 30, 2020.
• Follow the framework put forth in the SUNY EIT Accessibility Committee’s Final Report and Recommendations (PDF, 365 KB) in May 2019.
• Designate subcommittees to identify resources to support campus constituents in the implementation of the recommended standards developed by the SUNY EIT Committee (pages 15–20 of the Final Report and Recommendations [PDF, 365 KB]), thereby fostering a community of practice.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of the plan and recommend revisions as necessary.
• Provide an annual report to the EIT accessibility officer.
