To give context, this is a pair of letters sent/forwarded to the University of California system's administration by representatives of 2 UC system faculty committees, the Academic Council [1] and Committee on Academic Freedom [2].

Brief extract from the first letter on the page:

> At its January 2021 meeting, the Academic Council unanimously endorsed the attached letter from the University Committee on Academic Freedom (UCAF) expressing concern about ways in which Zoom’s terms of service may lead to instances of censorship that violate the University’s academic freedom principles and responsibilities. The concerns follow several high profile instances in which Zoom has canceled political events and academic discussions at universities after receiving complaints and finding violations of its terms of service.
