How will recent ADA updates impact digital accessibility in higher education? Kevin Tyler and Jamie Axelrod discuss the shift from reactive to proactive compliance, the legal stakes of non-conformance, and why universal design is the key to a more inclusive digital future.

New Federal ADA Regulation Deadlines Are Approaching – Is Your Institution Ready? Colleges and universities must now meet stricter ADA compliance requirements for websites and digital content or risk legal consequences, fines,  and loss of federal funding. With the Department of Justice's latest update to Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), institutions must ensure all web content, mobile apps, and digital resources meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards. For many schools, the deadline is approaching fast. In this episode of Changing Higher Ed®, host Dr. Drumm McNaughton has a conversation with Eugene Woo, CEO and founder of Venngage, to discuss what these new ADA regulations mean for higher education institutions and what they must do to comply. Understanding the New ADA Requirements for Higher Ed The Department of Justice's update to Title II clarifies long-standing accessibility expectations, removing ambiguity about digital compliance. Now, all institutions receiving federal funds—including financial aid, research grants, or disaster relief—must ensure their online content adheres to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. AA The key changes include: Explicit standards for websites and mobile apps – Digital accessibility is no longer optional. Clearer rules on compliance deadlines – Larger institutions (50,000+ students) must comply by April 2026, while smaller institutions have until April 2027. Greater enforcement risks – ADA lawsuits have historically driven accessibility improvements, and these new regulations are meant to make institutions proactive rather than reactive. Woo explains that many universities operate hundreds, if not thousands, of websites across different departments and programs, making compliance a daunting task. Why ADA Compliance Matters for Colleges and Universities Accessibility Isn't Just a Legal Obligation—It's a Universal Design Best Practice Woo highlights that designing for accessibility benefits everyone, not just individuals with disabilities. Features like captions for videos were initially created for the hearing impaired but are now widely used by all viewers. The Biggest Accessibility Challenges for Higher Ed Websites According to WebAIM's annual survey of the top one million websites, these are the most common accessibility issues: Missing alt text for images – Over 50% of homepage images lack descriptions, making content inaccessible to screen readers. Poor form accessibility – Online forms frequently lack proper labels, creating barriers for those using assistive technology. Non-descriptive links and buttons – Generic link text (e.g., “Click here”) makes navigation difficult for screen reader users. Inaccessible PDFs – Many course materials, syllabi, and administrative documents are in PDF format but lack proper tagging and readability. Color contrast issues – Up to 20% of men have some form of color blindness, yet many websites fail to meet the contrast requirements. 3. What Institutions Should Prioritize First Given the scale of most universities' digital footprints, Woo recommends: Conducting an ADA compliance audit to identify accessibility gaps. Prioritizing high-traffic pages and critical student services for remediation. Implementing universal design principles in new content to prevent future accessibility issues. How Universities Can Ensure ADA Compliance Designating Leadership Responsibility Presidents and institutional leaders must appoint a compliance officer or team responsible for ensuring accessibility across all digital platforms. Without clear ownership, accessibility efforts can fall through the cracks. Leverage AI and Automated Accessibility Tools for ADA Compliance Woo notes that institutions can use AI-powered tools to scan websites for accessibility violations and assist in remediation. Some platforms can even auto-correct PDFs and web pages to bring them closer to WCAG 2.1 standards. Budgeting for Digital Accessibility Compliance Compliance isn't just a policy issue—it requires financial investment. Schools must allocate resources for accessibility audits, technology upgrades, and training to ensure long-term compliance. Three Key Takeaways for Higher Education Leaders Determine whether your institution must comply—and by when Institutions receiving any federal funding must meet the new standards, with large universities facing an April 2026 deadline. Appoint a leader or team to oversee accessibility compliance Without clear accountability, compliance efforts will stall. Universities must assign responsibility to IT, compliance, or academic leadership teams. Invest in accessibility tools and training ADA compliance isn't just a one-time fix. Schools should budget for ongoing accessibility improvements, staff training, and technological upgrades. Higher education institutions can no longer afford to overlook digital accessibility. With the DOJ's new enforcement push, now is the time to act. Listen to the full episode for more insights from Eugene Woo and practical strategies for making your institution's digital content fully accessible.

We featured two special guests in this episode: Don Raleigh, RevOps Manager at Evolve Systems, and Chris Steffl, partner with CyberFin. The collaborative work they're doing in the ADA and Cyber Compliance space was our topic of discussion. ADA Compliance, as we know, is the lawful way to accommodate people with disabilities who wish to peruse your website and possibly do business with you. However, noncompliant sites are a  hot button for lawsuits. Companies whose websites are noncompliant are being discovered by 'bots crawling the web and being turned over to lawyers who've made it their mission to come after them. Evolve Systems remedies this issue quite simply by knowing and implementing the changes to your website which would deem it compliant and usable by those with disabilities. Now, you ask, how does Cyber Security play into this? Compliance is about meeting required standards, but does nothing to protect the system.The dual roles of Compliance and Cyber Security work like this. Compliance sets standards for data protection, often mandating practices such as data encryption, access control, and regular audits. Cybersecurity implements these standards while adding layers of protection through continuous monitoring, threat detection, and rapid response to incidents, thus safeguarding data beyond compliance requirements. We discussed examples of this in the episode that illustrate the importance of our topic; in other words “what not to do” and why. Protecting your business online and your internal systems is more important than ever!  Listen to the episode for actionable adviceConnect with Julie Keyes, Keyestrategies LLCFounder, Consultant, Author, Pod-caster and Instructor

For medical professionals, improving website accessibility can mean finding ways to attract and retain patients online, increasing access to your services. However, streamlining your website for patient engagement is not the same as meeting accessibility standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In fact, in some cases, your online marketing may conflict with current laws put forth by the ADA. While certain ADA standards may seem straightforward, many practices fail to meet their requirements, exposing them to lawsuits and fines, which can exceed $100,000. Since ADA laws are constantly evolving, staying up-to-date with these changes can be a challenge.However, updating your website doesn't have to be complicated. Understanding how to comply with ADA laws can help practices maintain compliance, increasing accessibility while avoiding costly lawsuits.In this episode of the DrMarketingTips Show, Jennifer and Corey explain how practices can stay up-to-date on ADA regulations and why these laws may have downstream effects on your practice.
