This month, the team has increased its focus on preparing for Department of Justice WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for Spring 2026.

Additionally, we continued supporting sites migrating from Drupal 7, including moving files for CLAS, updating Drupal 7 applications for extended security coverage, and deactivating inactive websites. As part of this process, we are working with HeroDevs on D7 NES within our D7 codebases and probing the PHP 8.1 upgrade for data.its.uiowa.edu.
