UTMB Web Accessibility Policy

    Definition

    Web accessibility: the degree of flexibility built into a web site or web application to meet the different needs, preferences, and situations of many different users, including individuals with disabilities. The intent is to increase accessibility by reducing or eliminating technological or design barriers that impede access or use of otherwise public content and information.  

    Policy

    The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) assures access to web-based information and services to all users, using specific features as needed for persons with special needs.

    UTMB promotes understanding of issues central to accessibility among its community of web developers, addresses accessibility issues and ensures that every page containing official university content complies with state and university rules regarding accessibility.

    Violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination for employees; a termination of employment relationship in the case of contractors or consultants; or suspension or expulsion in the case of a student. Additionally, individuals may be subject to loss of access privileges and civil and/or criminal prosecution.

    Questions, comments or requests for assistance related to an accessibility issue should be directed to the UTMB ADA Coordinator.
