UC Berkeley decided to ban the use of all remote proctoring software (including ProctorU) due to concerns about how it would impact the school's diverse student body — particularly students of color and disabled students who were most likely to be falsely flagged.

Program
Higher education — undergraduate/graduate
Outcome
Ban implemented and maintained. UC Berkeley remained one of the few large flagship universities to formally prohibit proctoring software. Harvard also strongly discouraged use, suggesting professors proctor via Zoom themselves.
