[conspire] Contact DOJ and tell them to blow it out their ass

[Dana Goyette]

When I worked at the Disability Resource Center (DRC) at Cal Poly SLO, one of the tasks was to run scans of books through TTS for students.
It was hard to deal with technical books, but for general ed classes, it was easy enough.  We also had volunteers read and record some non-technical books.

I'd imagine they (UC Berkeley) could add closed-captioning of videos to the equivalent department's tasks.

If he found a rest room sign that wasn’t in the proper size and type font, he would file a law suit. He justified his actions on wanting to make the world better under ADA. He also got paid thousands for each suit.
