accessibility standards and be coded using technical web standards, so
that they are accessible both for section 508 reasons, but also
technically appropriate for as wide an audience as possible.
- ITS in collaboration with the
Colleges shall develop a web page model, standard and guideline to
ensure compliance with the Commonwealth IT Accessibility Standard
