We have to ask ourselves: too expensive for what?

Berkeley has a 7 billion dollar endowment. I am sure they could have found the budget to make the videos compliant. They simply chose not too.



Endowments can't be spent.


UC Berkeley's annual budget is 3 billion dollars. I still think they can afford this.

Isn't this dependent on the the specific endowment policy though?


Indeed. But the size of endowment, much like market capitalization of a company or GDP of a country, is a very useful metric to judge fiscal capacity.
