They weren't ordered to remove it, they were ordered to caption it if it's provided at all. They decided it's not worth it to provide it to everyone for free if they have to caption all their videos, so they are making it available to students only (presumably because they have compliant services available to students like interpreters for people going to the class in person).

Thank you for explaining. That makes sense. Though ordering them to "caption them if they are provided at all" and then ending with them being removed was not a surprising side-effect. I wonder if the students who filed the suit or the judge should have expected that outcome. Now on the other side UCB is not exactly a poor cash strapped outfit so yes they could have captioned them if they wanted.

  Actually, UCB is running multi-million-dollar deficits, they're pretty cash strapped already.

    Ah interesting. I didn't expect that. But well if that's the case then I take it back. Their decision is rather rational then.
