For colleges and universities based in the USA, you might want to look at
your respective state laws with respect web accessibility. Some states are
either incorporating the federal Section 508 accessibility law for all
state (supported) web sites, or are writing their own state web
accessibility laws to mirror the federal law.
In either case, if you attend a college or university in one of those
states, and that institution receives federal education funding, you might
want to politely bring it up with your web instructor. It would be rather
disingenuous for a web instructor to not teach according to web standards
and accessibility requirements, when their employer's web site (the college
or university web site) probably comes under the state law jurisdiction
with respect to W3C and accessibility standards as required by that state's
laws.
