Measures to support access Sample Clauses

Measures to support access. The overarching aim of the University is to ensure that students from under- represented groups continue to feel able to aspire to higher education study and that this remains a viable option for students from these groups. This will be achieved through a combination of outreach activity, inclusive admissions procedures and high quality information, advice and guidance to encourage applicants from all groups in society to apply to NUA. The following targets and milestones are designed to measure the success in terms of the outcomes of measures to support access to higher education. The targets set are aspirational and will be challenging for the University to accomplish within the timeframe. With uncertainties in the future of higher education policy there is still some question over whether recent trends in participation are sustainable. In the event of a significant reduction in national participation which makes our absolute targets unachievable we will at least exceed the location adjusted benchmark for participation of the under-represented groups that we are seeking to attract and retain.

  • Technology Access Contractor expressly acknowledges that state funds may not be expended in connection with the purchase of an automated information system unless that system meets certain statutory requirements relating to accessibility by persons with visual impairments. Accordingly, Contractor represents and warrants to System Agency that the technology provided to System Agency for purchase (if applicable under this Contract or any related Solicitation) is capable, either by virtue of features included within the technology or because it is readily adaptable by use with other technology, of: • providing equivalent access for effective use by both visual and non-visual means; • presenting information, including prompts used for interactive communications, in formats intended for non-visual use; and • being integrated into networks for obtaining, retrieving, and disseminating information used by individuals who are not blind or visually impaired. For purposes of this Section, the phrase “equivalent access” means a substantially similar ability to communicate with or make use of the technology, either directly by features incorporated within the technology or by other reasonable means such as assistive devices or services which would constitute reasonable accommodations under the Americans With Disabilities Act or similar state or federal laws. Examples of methods by which equivalent access may be provided include, but are not limited to, keyboard alternatives to mouse commands and other means of navigating graphical displays, and customizable display appearance. In accordance with Section 2157.005 of the Texas Government Code, the Technology Access Clause contract provision remains in effect for any contract entered into before September 1, 2006.
