... IMPORTANT: Descriptive text after the "|" symbol is called the "alt text" and is required by NCSU regulations regarding web accessibility. Section 508 of the Workforce Rehabilitation Act of 1973 specifies that "A text equivalent for every non-text element shall be provided (e.g., via 'alt', 'longdesc', or in element content)." ...

As long as NCSU does not give us the means to do that properly I do not think we have to comply by that. I thin particulary of formulas. The only way to do that now is to laboriously upload them one by one. Having to write out alt's by hand in addition is really not feasible and the only software that the university recommends does not even have Greek symbols and is therefore unsuitable for a scientific institution. We need math tags.
