I wonder if this Berkeley offering has anything to do with why the other Stanford/Coursera courses have all been delayed. The most recent emails claimed the delay was for "legal/administrative issues". I wonder how Stanford feels about Coursera working with Berkeley also.
It does not. The email that was sent out was sincere. As far as I know, there are some legal hurdles that are taking longer to resolve than was originally anticipated, relating for example to accessibility issues etc.
