CAF-News is just newsgroup alt.comp.acad-freedom.news. It neither has,
nor claims, authority over any news admins. Its articles, like the
articles in news.admin.policy, are just the opinion of their authors.

* About the CAF mailing lists (and newsgroups)

A description of the comp-academic-freedom-talk mailing list. It is a
free-forum for the discussion of questions such as: How should general
principles of academic freedom (such as freedom of expression, freedom
to read, due process, and privacy) be applied to university computers
and networks? How are these principles actually being applied? How can
the principles of academic freedom as applied to computers and
networks be defended?
