ATI Workshop Review:

• Workshop provided valuable information however it will ultimately be up to the campuses to develop their own policies.  Beth indicated that she received information from Fullerton on how they can make class scheduling more available to students.
• Mike indicated that the biggest hurdle they will have to overcome is implementing the requirements in the coded memorandum into instructional materials.  We will need some kind of plan to help faculty integrate accessibility technology requirements into their current teaching methods.  Dr. Rincon suggested that Jim Monaghan and Rowena Santiago draft the policy for instructional materials – it would be helpful to have their expertise in it.
• One current issue is the fact the CSUSB will need to develop and have approved a policy that will encompass accessible technology by January 2007.  Lorraine suggested we could have a subgroup review the current policy and note any deficiencies in it.

Action Item Follow Up:

• Lorraine contacted the Chancellor’s Office and indicated that CSUSB was not interested in the software – we already purchased the software at a lower cost.  Keith Wandrey from the CSU will go back to vendor and renegotiate price for those campuses that don’t need the training
• Beth distributed OCR information
• VOIP Issues – We need to look at use of soft phones and have ACRC review the product for accessibility.  CSU Northridge does a direct connection to analog lines.
• Johnnie Ann Ralph, Dean of Pfau Library, will contact Lorraine regarding the Library representative
• Time line was distributed to task group
• Lorraine contacted Lloyd Peake, chair of faculty senate to get the Faculty Senate Executive Committee recommendation  for Faculty Senate representation on the task group.

Webpage Policy

• It was suggested at Academic Affairs Council that we should have a standing webpage committee to review webpage compliance in addition to vetting changes to webpages

Miscellaneous:

• Dr. Rincon indicated that we also need to focus on the January deadline for the procurement policy.  Amy said that the Chancellor’s Office provides them with general provisions so Purchasing will need to get direction from them.  We’ll also ask David DeMauro to ask Purchasing to develop the policies and procedures for RFP’s and RFQ’s.
• Beth volunteered that if we have a relationship with the Campus Accessibility Advisory Board (CAAB), she would like to be the liaison.
• Michael Casadonte was concerned about the deliverables for the 20 most accessed sites.  Lorraine will request format and content requirements for reporting.
• Dr. Zorn suggested that Beth present at the dean’s and chair’s meetings regarding training for faculty on developing instructional materials to be accessible and being sensitive to students with disabilities that may need alternative media for their classes.

ACTION ITEMS:

• Lorraine to contact President’s Office to be put on agenda for Admin Council on November 13, 2006
• Lorraine will approach Jim Monaghan and Rowena Santiago to identify structural needs in instructional design and materials
• Mike, Michael, Leon and Beth will review current accessibility policy and identify deficiencies
• Lorraine will email Amir Davirian to get database for bookstore textbooks
• Dr. Zorn will work on getting a faculty representative for the task group
• Lorraine will email Mary Cheng from the Chancellor’s Office regarding content and format for the 20 most accessed websites report.
