    Dear Interim President Rawlings,

    I would like to formally convey to you EA Resolution 4: Cornell Commitment to Web Accessibility. The resolution was sponsored by Jeramy Kruser, research and technology transfer representative.

    The resolution calls for the University to adopt a web content accessibility policy to be applied to all new websites, and to legacy websites upon major update. The resolution asks multiple divisions to develop and implement a series of actions that will further the university’s commitment to inclusion, and bring us closer to becoming a welcoming campus for individuals with disabilities.

    The resolution was passed on December 21, 2016 by a vote of 15-0-0.

    Take care,
    Ulysses
