Earlier quoted context omitted.

It was a group of deaf people trying to get UCB to spend the money to better serve them.

For free...so instead dicked everyone else who otherwise would have received for free.

Because that constitutes discrimination against the deaf...

It's not equivalent, but most courses at least post lectur slides, section notes, etc. online.

The university I attended (University of Athens, Greece, department of Informatics) live streamed pretty much every major class, starting from 2005 or so, and for as long as I was there. I'm pretty sure it's not that rare, especially nowadays. But it's much less useful now relatively, since there are so many courses and video resources on most STEM related subjects.
