I don't know what accommodations universities are required to enact. I believe you could make the case that emailing the student course materials in a manner that provides some sort of TTS capability (e.g. to a computer that can read PDF's and other documents aloud).
But to me, it's pretty clear that the purpose was to force Amazon to improve the TTS capabilities of the device. It may also be a warning shot to universities not to implement ebook programs that don't accommodate the disabled.
Again, I don't think the lawsuit was the best way to handle this. It is possible it prodded Amazon to work on the firmware a little faster, but IMO generated some ill will as well.
