Harvard and M.I.T. Are Sued Over Lack of Closed Captions
I&#x27;m really surprised to see this anti-accesibility sentiment on HN, where you see comments about contrast&#x2F;scroll hijacking&#x2F;Javascript requirability and numerous other things the WCAG recommends against on nearly every link posted. You&#x27;d expect Harvard and M.I.T. to have wheelchair ramps so disabled students could get to class right? It shouldn&#x27;t be so controversial that their lectures should be accessible as well. Maybe some are concerned over the possible costs but there are solutions to that such as crowdsourcing. Universities are meant to spread knowledge for all and even if they&#x27;re a public good, they should still be held accountable for it.
