Also, a thread: 👇🏼

Issues pane, powered by @webhintio, listing accessibility issues with explanations why these are problems, links to more info and direct links to the tools where to fix the problem. https://t.co/4K5RynHhbg
The inspect element overlay showing accessibility relevant information of the element, including contrast information, ARIA name, role and if it can be focused via keyboard.
Colour picker with contrast information offering colours that are AA/AAA compliant. You can also see compliant colours indicated by a line on the colour patch.
Note: the current algorithm fails to take font weight into consideration, that's why there will be a new one.
Vision deficit ("colour blindness") emulation. You can see what your product looks like for different visitors.

Rendering emulation. You can see what your product looks like in dark/light mode and you can turn on "reduced motion" to make sure that your animations only get experienced by those who want them.
Sneak preview: soon we'll also have high contrast simulation.
In the accessibility pane you can see what assistive technologies like screen readers will get to know about your product. https://t.co/5ntpUusgbH
Source order viewer shows the order of an element in the source tree. This can help you test if your CSS grid layouts don't cause confusion for screen reader users Thanks to @aardrian for requesting this at @webwewantfyi https://t.co/7F2uHyeM0a
That's just a few things that are already in there. What are you missing? What could be added or changed to be easier to use? Tell us @EdgeDevTools. :)

We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.

Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)

It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.

Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
