Checkpoint C and D of Section 1194.24 (Video and Multimedia Products) of 
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act may provide some additional 
information for you.  When I get asked as to whether or not a college 
"should" be captioning materials, I point them at the following URL so 
that they can make their own decision 
(http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/guide/1194.24.htm#(c))

Take care (and good luck),
