The Department of Justice’s decision to delay ADA digital accessibility deadlines for colleges reflects a reality many institutions have already understood: the scale of compliance work far exceeded the available time and infrastructure. Universities are not resisting accessibility itself; they are struggling with the operational complexity of auditing and rebuilding millions of webpages, PDFs, videos, and digital systems. The delay offers an opportunity to move from reactive scrambling to accessibility that integrate governance, training, and workflow design. The real danger now is not the extension itself, but the temptation to mistake more time for less urgency.
