1 UCLA Yes https://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/preparations-for-the-2020-21-academic-year "Recommended infection-control procedures will be in place on campus, including physical distancing, de-densifying classrooms and other spaces, frequent cleaning of classrooms and facilities, and the wearing of face coverings while on campus, consistent with guidance from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health." 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
