If you need more, I bet you can find lawsuits that cost institutions a lot of money in fines due to inaccessible web applications. If doing the right thing or the 'letter of the law' fail as motivation, appeal to budget and reputation concerns.

We changed ours to 24 hours in response to an audit. This means users have to sign in once per day. No negative feedback to speak of.

Isn't AI just another source to cite? Is this just a matter of figuring out how the use of AI needs to be cited? How is it different than citing someone else's work that you then use to varying extent in your work? Cite the AI used, and the prompt used, and then you can decide if the AI got ...

Our guest registry is only concerned with establishing a vetted identity paired with a responsible sponsor. Authorization decisions are made by individual systems/services.

We have guest registration app and process that manages sponsorship of guests (for whatever reason). The app enforces our policies including account lifecycle.

We are also interested. I know of tools that can be used during development, but what we are looking for is the ability to do independent reviews. Are there any automated options that do not depend on manual audits?

What qualifies as "identity specific data"? Does your HR system originate institutional email addresses?

When you give users multiple accounts, they pick one to use and ignore the others as much as they can. One person/one account. Don't add accounts, add attributes.

Name is a complicated topic. HR likely requires a person's 'legal name'. The Student system need a person's name as it will appear on their degree. I think you could argue that BOTH systems are authoritative for name. If the two systems are storing names and addresses for different reasons ...

In my opinion... Assuming one identity for one person... which you should. It is likely that you have at least two Systems of Record (SOAs): Human Resources and a Student system. These are clearly authoritative in determining who is an employee and who is a student (a person could be both). but ...

Sean, The language I was pointed to had 'do not distribute' warnings all over it, but it essentially asks vendors to warrant that their product complies with a specific standard and obligates them to fix it for free if it proves otherwise.

This is not my area, but I believe our contracts require a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) and a warranty regarding accessibility.

For sure, the more champions and leverage you have the better. And politics are different at each institution, so what ever works at your campus... build where you have people with the passion. I have found that here the fact that the ADA is the law motivates executives, and pointing out that meeting ...

I have a small team of programmers. We are part of our central Information Technology organization. Accessibility is considered from the inception of each project. Everyone on the team is expected to address accessibility as they are developing, just like they are expected to address security. ...

I'm not really addressing your question, but I have a general comment. You mentioned that you work in disability services. I lead a development team. In my opinion it is a mistake to address accessibility as something that only benefits the disabled. It is my experience that meeting accessibility ...

What is the purpose of this debate? Shouldn't the goal be to satisfy both regulations? Is there a reason that this data wouldn't have both classifications? Are these regulations competing in some way?

I believe that we treat video calls the same as in-person. We also make use of previously supplied personal email addresses and mobile numbers. If the user can prove control of a known personal email account or phone number or both it can be a reasonable way to increase confidence in identity ve ...
