Curriculum-as-Code, ADA Title II Compliance, and Fleet-Wide Accessibility Refactoring

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 16:53:00 -0700

When the Department of Justice codified WCAG 2.1 AA standards under ADA Title II for public higher education institutions, it ended the era of reactive, page-by-page accessibility audits. Traditional post-publication fixes inside LMS rich text editors fail to scale across multi-section course fleets.

Achieving sustainable compliance requires moving accessibility upstream into a version-controlled engineering workflow: Curriculum-as-Code.

The Upstream Accessibility Pipeline

Essay 17: Engineering Resilience: Resolving False-Positive Contrast Errors and Array Parsing Script Failures via Curriculum-as-Code

Curriculum-as-Code (C-a-C) resolves this at the source by replacing GUI color adjustments with deterministic Markdown pipelines, native semantic hierarchies starting at <h2>, and zero inline color overrides.
