I was focusing on monetary issues because that's what most in the thread bought up. You're correct that I'm holding these universities to a specific standard and that's because I mentioned before they are universities, and because they are considered some of the eminent. If we can't even expect America's top universities to accommodate them, who can? (The government certainly can't go around subtitling everything) From your response it seems you're worried that this will lead to a slipper slope where subtitles become an oppressive expectations and might lead to even more specific demands by other groups. While I don't agree with that, I don't think that's as bad of a thing as it sounds; would the world really be worst off if we actually tried to consider the needs of those that are disabled? Regarding your question about expectations, the government already has guidelines on this, those are the base expectations. There are also groups specifically educating people on this like the WCAG for web accessibility. Anything extra you do such as accommodating the colorblind for example would be great and if a case like this forces people to consider the limitations their audiences might face. I see that as a win.
