California Government Code 11135 requires the CSU to comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and to apply the accessibility standards published by the U.S. Access Board for electronic and information technology (EIT) products and services that it buys, creates, uses, and maintains.

.

EIT is information technology (IT) and any

equipment or interconnected system or

subsystem of equipment, that is used in the

creation, conversion, or duplication of data or

information.
