FERPA Information

• Updated accessibility for icon fonts - you may find errors in your local footer

Login / Shibboleth changes

• For a long time, we've had two different (CAS, SAML) sign-ons running. Have upgraded Shibboleth software to consolidate these logins.
• Making changes behind the scenes in order to make single-sign on experience more smooth

Private Analytics using Piwik

• Should never do overrides of wdn-*. When working on sites, should come up with custom prefix for scoping individual elements for that site (IE "iim-*" for Internet and Interactive Media)
• Future helper classes and other elements in 5.0 should hopefully eliminate a lot of the small CSS custom elements that people have built

UNLedu Web Framework 5.0; From the Ground Up

• Separating branding layer from base framework, working with other institutions in system in order to achieve this.

HTTP >Importance of Accessible Websites

• Ask for your diligence in trying to fix Axe metrics on your webaudit reports.
