Lawsuits most likely, it's fairly common for disabled people to sue entities over such things and law suits are very expensive even if you win.

- monocasa 7y agoThat only mandates > and any new university created audio or video it doesn't seem like it would require removing blanket access to archived lectures.
- marcinzm 7y agoFor that lawsuit and those universities after they paid out the settlement and legal fees. Another university that has old lectures can still get sued for those in a separate lawsuit. Then they'd need to pay out a settlement, legal fees and so on to maybe get to keep old videos up. The lawyers suing won't care, they just want the settlement money. Easier to just get rid of all the videos.
