Summary
The Office for Digital Accessibility (ODA) is the systemwide entity designated to provide resources and services to the University of Minnesota community in support of the creation, development, and procurement of accessible electronic content and services.
In response to recent Department of Justice clarifications on Title II of the ADA specifying that disabled people have the right to participation in not only built spaces but also in digital spaces, the Office for Equity and Diversity (OED) and the Office of Information Technology (OIT) have partnered to establish the Office of Digital Accessibility (ODA).
The ODA is charged with organizing and coordinating the University’s efforts to support accessible and inclusive digital experiences for all who engage with the University’s services, programs, and activities.
