That's a real shame, a (presumably) well intentioned attempt to increase access to educational resources winds up restricting access instead. I wonder what the motivations and intended outcome of the lawsuit was.

I assume the motivation was to compel UC Berkeley to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act.

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