AB - A number of universities have long-established and highly-regarded research programs in adaptation of information technology (IT) for disabled persons. Some universities have also instituted successful programs to apply accessible IT in various areas of their campuses. But it is safe to claim that no 23-campus university system, with 450,000 students and 46,000 faculty and staff, has ever before attempted to make its entire IT presence---web, instructional materials, and procurement---fully accessible within five years. Since February 2007, the California State University (CSU) system has been doing exactly that, through its ground-breaking Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI).
