It seems UCSB has invited its facilities workers back to campus. This includes electricians, plumbers, painters, and HVAC workers along with other trades.
I can see how a skeleton crew of MEP trades could be essential but I find it hard to believe that the full crew is ”essential”. I know returning to work is voluntary but shouldn’t UCSB be encouraging workers to ”shelter in place?”

there are a dozen projects that are needing to be done. and 1 “crew” cant do it. schools are taking this time to fix and retrofit a ton of stuff while no one is in class. “trades” are essential as they make our systems work. thats my impression of whats goin on at UCSB, im not there. But I am a tradesman and talk to other tradesman and they have said what I just said.
So many wealth retirees and pensioners in Santa Barbara that will want everyone to shelter in place until 2025.
And honestly, if they want to maintain something , fix the dang road that leads into the university from El Colegio and onward…..That piece of pavement needed to be resurfaced or paved or whatever more than 5 years ago and it’s still a mess….city, county, ucsb….fix it!
We walked on campus a couple ago and it was like a ghost town. The few students we did see were mostly Chinese. I think many foreign students prefer to to stay in the US right now than go home.
