San Francisco State University's Web site wins Inclusion Award in recognition of the site's accessibility for all users

From http://www.sfsu.edu/~news/2008/fall/27.html:

"[Our] Web site has been recognized specifically for its home page design which features an expandable menu of links making it easier for visitors using assistive technology such as screen readers to navigate the site. In addition, the site offers a "skip navigation" function that allows users to jump directly to the main content of each Web page. Without this tool, visitors using screen readers would have to listen to a long list of links before reaching the main content. Similarly keyboard-only users would have to tab through these links before reaching the main content. SF State's use of expandable links and skip navigation is unique in that these tools are in the spirit of universal design: made accessible to all users -- those using assistive technology and those who are not."
