"While the ultimate goal is to create a culture where inclusive and universal design is completely proactive, it is necessary to first make sure that any content that already exists is accessible to everyone, be it faculty, staff, students, or the public. The remediation process allows us to take inventory of what we have and complete any changes necessary to make our environment an inclusive one."
