There is alot of good reasons for university's to get upset about this issue. It maybe something simpler than the professors being ashamed of their lectures. It could be greed driving the hole thing. Institution's like UCLA could be upset about not getting payed for your learning, because that is how they make their money (I know you can't get a job that requires a degree with out having one, but knowledge is power!). Second, If you read the notes before taking the classes, you have an unfair advantage over the other students. I have thought of one other idea. I release that this next idea is unlikely but not impossible. University's could be worried about someone posting notes full of incorrect information, giving the reader a false understanding (intentional or not) of what he/she just read. If this happened who would be at fault? The university, the person who posted the notes, or both?
