I have yet to see the greater hearing community routinely engage in this kind of universal thinking in access; thinking about people in terms of capabilities and designing their messages with as many capabilities in mind as possible given the technology at hand.
An quote from the article can be rewritten:
"Berkeley had two choices: spend a fortune adding closed captioning to the videos, or remove them from public view. Cost-conscious administrators chose the latter option."
or...
"Berkeley had two main choices: spend money and/or spend time making their content accessible to everyone, or backtrack on their commitment by removing from public view. Privileged administrators (who likely do not need the benefit given by making this content accessible) chose to hide the content rather than be responsible stewards for knowledge."
Gallaudet University is a private university for the deaf. I would like to point out that their videos are not friendly to those with visual impairments and they should have their videos removed for the same reason UC Berkeley has to remove theirs. Here are a few such examples:
