“…In the years since the original Section 508 amendment in 1998, educational researchers have examined institutional websites to learn whether these websites are Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant per Section 508 guidelines. Extant research has examined web accessibility at 4-year (Bradbard, Peters, & Caneva, 2010; Hackett & Parmanto, 2005; Harper & DeWaters, 2008; Kelly, 2002) and 2-year institutions (Erickson et al, 2013; Flowers, Bray, & Algozzine, 2011; Taylor & Bicak, 2019; Wisdom et al, 2006), with these studies finding postsecondary websites are rarely compliant with WCAG standards. However, no extant research has examined the web accessibility of historically Black college and university (HBCU) websites, although HBCUs have been found to be incredibly important institutions of higher education (Anderson, 2017; Camera, 2017; Freeman & Thomas, 2002), responsible for educating the majority of Black postsecondary students in the United States (Gasman & Samayoa, 2017; McRae, 2016).…”
