(By Connor Murphy. UND Today) – The University of North Dakota is moving forward with its campus wide plans for becoming compliant with new Title II accessibility requirements for the Americans with Disabilities Act.
As Provost Eric Link remarked recently in an interview with UND Today: “This work isn’t for the few, it’s for all of us.”
One of the efforts on campus is the Strive for 85 initiative, which encourages content creators in Blackboard Ultra to achieve an 85% or higher Blackboard Ally score.
The Strive for 85 initiative is designed to ensure that all students, regardless of ability, can fully engage with course materials, as well as with the University’s digital resources.
