Please note that UConn also has web standards (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbrand.uconn.edu%2Fweb&data=05%7C02%7Citaccessibility%40uconn.edu%7C20c771e5a88d478a8e9308dd66f63f7d%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C638779929987315699%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=IA0Va6a06XjzRJ8LZXG5PMuWZiM0%2FeMIREYo4qO3Mhs%3D&reserved=0) which must be adhered to. We require websites built on behalf of the University and/or using University funds to use a UConn domain and be hosted by UConn. While we know that our faculty and staff support efforts to provide accessible content and equitable experiences, performing this work and maintaining the standards going forward will be an ongoing, shared responsibility.
