Write to the university and let them know that despite their terrific
efforts to write an accessible, standards-compliant website, the
lectures themselves are dependent on expensive, insecure software and
they are preventing you from completing your degree.

Furthermore, by creating a dependence on this expensive software they
are encouraging software piracy, lax computer security, and disregard
of standards. Is that to be expected of a respected university?

Find a way to blame MS :)
