As another web accessibility specialist working within the Higher Education community, I can only echo the support and encouragement that others have shown towards maintaining this important Web Accessibility resource. At a time when web accessibility is actually starting to maintain a serious foothold within the larger development community, it is important that authoritative voices remain, and that unbiased, researched guidance is afforded all developers seeking to do the right thing. The legacy of Dr. Slatin and his contributions to this field of study *IS* the Institute, and it would be a sad day indeed to see that history lost. I fully support this petition.
