Material Detail

The California State University (CSU) requires each campus to provide an Annual Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI)  Report to the CSU Office of the Chancellor. The intent of these Annual Reports is to provide campuses with a common framework for documenting progress toward achieving their goals as set forthour systemwide accessibility policy. The CSU accessibility strategy focuses on supporting campuses continuously improving their capabilities to reliably, promptly, and effectively meet the accessibility needs of their students, staff, faculty, and campus community members.  This approach is based on the Capability Maturity Model Integration and encourages campuses to assess their current capabilities and priorities to best determine where institutional efforts and available resources should be directed and then tailor their accessibility implementation to the specific needs of their campus community. Institutions submit ongoing reports of their status level of their capabilities (e.g. not started, initiated, defined, established, managed, and optimizing) on each of the defined goals, and this information is shared across campuses so institutions can compare their status with those of their peers.  Through our shared governance processes, we developed an annual assessment methodology which includes a rubric for campuses to assess their current capabilities across the 3 major areas of web accessibility, instructional materials, and procurement, with multiple indicators/metrics within these major areas.  This annual and systematic accessibility assessment process enables the CSU to recognize where there are exemplary practices that need to be shared and scaled and where there are significant gaps in our campuses capabilities to reliably, promptly, and effectively provide educational services for our campus members with disabilities.  

The website provides the information about our goals, success indicators, rubrics for evaluating capabilities, and instructions to guide campuses on implementing the annual reporting process.
