From the DoJ letter: "Faculty developing UC BerkeleyX courses can, but are not required to, develop courses in collaboration with the Berkeley Resource Center for Online Education (BRCOE). BRCOE follows best practices in design for accessibility and also has a quality assurance process that includes deploying various accessibility evaluators; remediating layout, page structure, downloadable or styling accessibility barriers; and obtaining transcripts of all audio and video files associated with a course." They follow that with a checklist which all faculty which opted out of using those resources since July 2015 was required to sign. To me, this looks like a system which is trying to comply, but the people within the system have failed to take the requirements seriously.
