9. An evaluation of the overall effectiveness of the campus IMAP.

9A. Overview

Each campus should develop a campus-level mechanism for evaluating compliance levels regarding equally effective access to instructional materials for every student regardless of disability.  The structure and process for the evaluation should be consistent with campus culture. It should be performed by a highly respected campus body that has the expertise to perform such an analysis and the campus-wide trust necessary to ensure its internal credibility. 

During the life of the Accessibility Technology Initiative (2007-2012), this accountability reporting process should be performed annually and an annual report should be submitted to the President.  Once the initiative has completed, the campus should have developed a regular periodic review process for auditing campus compliance regarding equally effective access to instructional materials.  This permanent periodic review process need not be annual, but it must be frequent enough and complete enough to provide accurate and credible evidence of campus compliance. 

These evaluation reports will be the primary mechanism for collecting and analyzing evidence of campus compliance with equally effective access to instructional materials.  If the campus is ever subject to a compliance investigation, these evaluation reports should serve as the primary roadmap for demonstrating campus commitments to equally effective access for all students.

Each campus will also need to identify a campus agent who will be responsible for performing this evaluation. The campus agent, which may be an office (e.g. internal auditor) or a special committee, should be selected base upon competence in performing the task and campus trust of the agent.
