Colleges and universities are scrambling to meet forthcoming Title II ADA digital-accessibility rules, which codify WCAG 2.1 standards and require public institutions to make digital content accessible to all learners by April 2026. Institutions report uncertainty over remediation scope, resourcing and sustainable workflows to avoid superficial fixes. At the same time, higher ed security teams face pressure to balance physical-security tech—video surveillance, facial recognition and AI-enabled monitoring—with privacy laws and institutional trust. Campus leaders must weigh safety gains against legal risk, administrative costs and community concerns. Both threads converge on a single operational reality: institutions need coordinated policies, trained staff, procurement standards, and long-term budgeting to meet compliance deadlines without disrupting teaching and student services.
