ATI Governance

ATI Steering Committee

The Executive Technology Steering Committee (ETSC) is the senior university IT governance group and principal advisor to the President on information technology issues and decisions. The ETSC reports, through the Vice President for Information Technology, to the President’s Cabinet and meets monthly.

The Executive Technology Steering Committee convenes twice per year as the ATI Steering Committee with additional members from the key stakeholder groups across the institution.

ATI Service Committee

Committee coordinates across all the offices on campus that offer ATI-related services. The ATI Services Committee reports up to the ATI Steering Committee via the chair (i.e., UDC ATI Program Manager), assists with preparing the annual ATI reports, and guides the work of the ATI Coordinators. This committee partners with colleagues on the Campus-Wide Disabilities Issues Board.

The ATI Services Committee provides recommendations regarding:

• Campus training needs related to accessibility;
• The most concerning current uses of materials and technologies that are not yet accessible;
• The available and needed resources for assisting faculty and staff in selecting accessible products and/or making materials and technologies accessible;
• Workable standards for documenting alternative accommodation plans; and
• Other actions that could be taken to ensure that accessibility considerations become common business and educational practices.

Meeting Schedule: Once per month (as needed)

ATI College and Divisional Coordinators

The members of the ATI Coordinators Committee are the first point of contact for ATI in their respective areas. This committee, including members from key stakeholder groups across the institution, serves a hands-on role in ensuring accessibility technology goals are met in their areas.

Meeting Schedule: Once per quarter (as needed)

Web Accessibility

The Web Coordination Group (WCG) is an ad-hoc working group reporting to the Executive Technology Steering Committee to coordinate the web content management system for University administrative web pages, to review University web projects (including ongoing and future division web projects), and make recommendations and identify issues to ETSC as appropriate. The committee meets monthly.

• WCG serves as the Web Accessibility group, coordinating through the Universal Design Center Program Manager with the ATI Services Committee. The group will review and revise the campus Web Accessibility Plan. The Group and the Plan will serve in support of the work that the other areas across campus do to support and advance the accessibility of the campus web presence.

Technology Procurement Accessibility Group

This group meets to ensure continuous improvement around electronic and information technology purchases.

• This group reviews and revises the campus Technology Procurement Accessibility Plan.

Meeting schedule: Bi-weekly (as needed)

Instructional Materials (IM) Accessibility

The Advisory Committee for Academic Technology (ACAT) consults on the management of University-wide IT support of instructional and scholarly activities, from the perspective of a college or division, not individual users. The committee meets monthly.

• ACAT serves as the Instructional Materials Accessibility Committee to review and revise the campus Instructional Materials Accessibility Plan. The Committee and the Plan will serve in support of the work that the Faculty Technology Center (FTC), Universal Design Center (UDC), and other areas across campus do to support faculty and ensure our students have accessible instructional materials.
