When the University purchases  Information and Communication (ICT) software, hardware and services, such software, hardware and services must be accessible.  This includes required course materials, like iClickers or MatLab.  Purchase orders and contracts for ICT must include the following clause:

“Contractor agrees that no University funds may be expended for the purchase of information technology equipment and software for use by employees, program participants, or members of the public unless it provides equal and effective access to all individuals in accordance with federal and state laws and regulations, including, but not limited to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Section 508 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act.  Pertinent policies can be found at policy.uconn.edu."
