Outcome
ProctorU never filed a lawsuit, but the legal threat had a significant chilling effect on faculty willingness to criticize the software. Multiple faculty declined further public comment. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) criticized ProctorU's behavior. UCSB authorized approximately $60,000 in ProctorU spending from March 2020 to June 2021.
