a reasonable effort to ensure that Spanish-speaking persons of limited
English proficiency can meaningfully access institution of higher
education website information in accordance with provisions of Texas
Government Code §2054.116.
(b) To facilitate the use of state websites by people
with limited English proficiency, in addition to English language

of their websites in the primary language or languages used by the
people using the website.

efforts in determining the parts of its website that should be translated

the program;
