Accessibility
Kean Investment Club Forum aims to make its educational materials and club tools usable by as many people as possible. This statement describes our current accessibility approach; it does not claim that the Forum meets a specific legal standard.
1. Our accessibility goal
We aim to provide a Forum whose primary language is English (en), with keyboard navigation, readable text, clear labels, responsive layouts, and support for commonly used assistive technologies. We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA as a practical reference point while building and improving the Forum.
2. What moderators should do
- Use clear, descriptive headings and avoid relying on color alone to communicate important information.
- Write meaningful image descriptions and captions when adding images to reports.
- Use tables only for data that belongs in rows and columns; describe the takeaway in nearby text.
- Use direct link labels, such as a source title, rather than “click here.”
- Keep reports readable by using short sections, plain language, and sufficient contrast.
3. Areas we are continuing to test
Interactive charts, rich report-formatting tools, account forms, third-party services, and future embedded content need ongoing manual keyboard and screen-reader testing. Market graphs should also provide a text alternative or data summary. These areas remain priorities as the Forum develops.
4. Feedback and help
For accessibility feedback or help, contact keaninvestmentclub@kean.edu. Please include the page involved, a description of the issue, the device or assistive technology used, and any helpful details so the executive board can investigate.
5. Ongoing improvement
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. When the Forum receives an accessibility concern, the club will review it, make reasonable corrections where possible, and document any remaining limitations or alternatives.
