> If you don't have a disability, you aren't allowed to record lectures

Why is that gated like that?



The reasons I've encountered range from philosophy ("Students don't retain knowledge as well if they rely on recordings") to environment ("I want students to be able to ask questions and be wrong without being recorded") to petty ("I don't like lecturing to a half-empty room").


How come those aren't arguments against recording by students with disability?


They are, but it's a compromise with helping those students succeed.
