Accessibility Statement for the MIT Free Speech Alliance
The MIT Free Speech Alliance (MFSA) is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all visitors, including those with disabilities. We believe that open discourse and academic freedom must be accessible to everyone.
We are actively working to improve the user experience on our website and are taking steps to align our digital architecture with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Known Limitations and Active Resolutions Despite our best efforts to ensure the accessibility of the MFSA website, there may be temporary limitations as we audit and upgrade our digital infrastructure. Below is a description of known issues and our active steps to resolve them. Please contact us if you observe a barrier not listed below.
Navigation and Skip Links: A "Skip to Main Content" link is currently not available for keyboard users. We are working to implement this feature.
Link Text: Some links in our news feed use generic text like "Read more," which may not provide full context for screen reader users. We are exploring technical solutions to make these links more descriptive.
Images: Some images may currently lack descriptive alternative text. We are in the process of auditing and updating these images.
Visual Focus: Keyboard focus indicators may not be clearly visible on all interactive elements. We are working to improve visibility.
Video Captions: Some archived videos may rely on auto-generated captions, which may not be fully accurate.
