Sorry for the stupid question. Should have done my own homework first.
Section 508 applies to state institutions such as universities.

Although Section 508 applies specifically to Federal agencies, another law
(the Assistive Technology Act of 1998, or "AT Act") requires that any State
receiving a grant under this act (i.e., all states) must assure that it (the
State), or any recipient of State funds, will comply with Section 508
standards. There is still some debate as to the intended relationship
between the AT Act and Section 508, and the Department of Education has
pledged to work with States to address this. However, many state
universities are assuming Section 508 will apply to them, and are working
proactively toward compliance.

Would anyone happen to know if NC has an equivalent set of regs?
