Up in the Chair, makes a reasonable effort to ensure that electronic information, information technology, and related products be accessible to staff, interns, partners, and the general public, as appropriate and practicable or as otherwise governed by applicable law. The term “accessible” means that individuals with disabilities can independently acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services within the same timeframe as individuals without disabilities, with substantially equivalent ease and effectiveness of use. In instances where accessibility is impracticable for specific technologies or content, the College will strive to provide equally effective alternative access. This policy is per federal and state laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), as amended, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
Equally effective alternative access, in this context, typically means an alternative format or medium that accurately and promptly communicates the same content as the original format or medium and which is appropriate to an individual’s disability. To provide equally effective alternative access, Up in the Chair need not ensure that qualified individuals with disabilities achieve the identical result or level of achievement as individuals without disabilities. Still, Up in the Chair will strive to provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services as necessary to afford individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to obtain the same result, gain the same benefit, or reach the same level of achievement, in the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs. Up in the Chair is not required to take any action that results in a fundamental alteration like a service, program, or activity, or undue financial and administrative burden.
