Added comment: CA Governor has ordered masks to be worn in public. Presumably this includes the UCLA campus. UCLA says: "Anyone on campus should maintain safe distances from others and wear a mask." Most instruction will be remote in the fall. They do not specify that anyone in classrooms are *required* to wear a mask, but probably they are.https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/top-public - list of US News top 20 public universities

Stony Brook Universityyeshttps://www.stonybrook.edu/restart-research/index.phpComply with SBU guidance regarding use of face coverings or masks. Currently, SBU requires the use of a face covering or mask in situations where social distancing (minimum 6’ separation) cannot be achieved. Care must be taken to wear face protection when transiting public spaces (e.g., hallways, elevators, bathrooms) to avoid unexpected infringement of social distancing. If the standard operating procedure for a research activity requires use of more protective PPE or face coverings, the standard practice takes precedence.
