UK University Home Pages

In Sept 2003 survey of accessibility of 160+ UK University entry points carried out

  • Used Bobby (to report on problems which an automated tool could spot)
  • How many WAI AA pages were found?

The survey found:

  • Only four entry points complied with AA
  • One was a JavaScripted page so isn't accessible

The UK HE community is generally aware of and supportive of WAI issues, uses email lists to discuss issues and share solutions (esp. in light of legislation introduced in Sept 2002). So why this low figure?
