There are broad exemptions to allow legally blind people to acquire large print and audiobooks in many countries, you have to allow disabled access to shops and so on. Why is disabled access in electronic devices not a reasonable step?
It's a couple of Universities telling a large corperation what they need to do to be considered for a large-scale rollout of one of their products. Happens all the time. If as has been suggested the use of the device is mandatory for a course, then the Universitys are very much in the wrong in the way they were using them in the first place and it's a necessary change.
