A fly in the ointment?

You may have seen in yesterday's Los Angeles Times - Calendar section - a long article saying that since museums are closed due to the coronavirus crisis, it's nice to be able to walk in UCLA's sculpture garden and enjoy the artwork.*

But there may be a fly in the ointment. According to the new California higher ed guidelines - at least as yours truly understands them - universities are supposed to control access to the campus by visitors. As we have noted in prior blog posts, with other recreational sites limited, people (visitors) seem to be using the campus as a public park, including the sculpture garden. Not all of these folks wear masks. Children run around.

So how is access to be controlled at a public university with many entrances? Are the UC police going to do it? Hand out tickets to the unmasked? What?

Just asking.
