Re: ADA Compliance - Links to Third Party Websites

Yes, we would be able to modify the content. However, only to a certain

Yes, that is correct. Specifically, the organization is a University
Institution, and the content creators using third party
applications/websites such as YouTube are either "agents" of the university
