Plus frankly, they needed the, the additional room. So many people are coming onto the campus.
That space is very, very tight. Now everyone on campus has to show proof of vaccination, but of course there are breakthrough cases. How much testing is underway there. Um, so if you were going into campus housing, you had to be tested roughly 12, undergraduates were tested over the past two weeks. It's only 13 proved to be positive, but that's not the end of it. They have to be tested at the five day mark.
And then at the 10 day mark. So they're keeping very close watch on that. Anybody who uses the campus, if they're a student, faculty or staff member has to be, um, has to be vaccinated.
And they've been, um, uh, you know, unfortunately that very strongly, the university says they're getting really strong compliance. So between the testing and the backs of nation, the university has a very low infection rate. Now, uh, you said that, um, the students and, and faculty in particular w told you that they were really so happy that this was an in-person class and not learning remotely, because there were a lot of problems that faculty picked up on in their remote classes.
There's a survey that found that they believe student understanding of class material actually decreased last year.
Is that right? And that is right. In fact, I talked to an engineering professor yesterday, who was saying how frustrated she was to have to teach remotely because a lot of students wouldn't turn on their camera, you know, while they were attending class. So there's the faculty member couldn't see the student's face. And a lot of students did that.
So she would be looking at a screen and not seeing most of her students. And there would be times where she would ask a question, but a lot of students simply wouldn't respond because they didn't want their face to come up on the screen, which is what happens with audio. So she couldn't read people. Now, she had a big class yesterday over students.
And she told me that even with masks on, she could now read facial expressions of people standing in front of her and then made the whole process so much more.
Because other students, um, could use any number of computers to go on, not in a use certain services that compile homework, for example.
And in some cases what tests are like. So that was very hard for the unit, the university to monitor, you know, it was an honor system and you had just a lot of kids that were living at home with our parents in a room or a couch surfing. And there really was no one to closely watch what they were doing.
For example, while they were taking tests. And the faculty member said that they felt that there was a significant increase in cheating. Is there any plan in place to shift back to remote learning? If the county starts to see a surge in cases in the coming months,.
It's already in place, you know, ready to go with that happens. They're hoping that it doesn't, but you know, you're, you'll remember that, uh, the university like others change very rapidly, so they're ready to do it. There's a cultural imperative, almost not to do it. You see San Diego is not big on online education. They've built this massive infrastructure and they want people to come there.
They think of some most effective thing, but if there's a big outbreak that threatens what's going on, they will shift a lot of classes back online.

So that'll bring in not only students, but members of the public and the university is trying to reach out to the public to get them more involved in the university.
As you know, the university is kind of an island in a sense, there's the ocean on one side of freeway on another, you know, a golf course on another, and you can't really see the university very well. And so that's led to a distancing between the campus and the community and the campus is trying to break that down by saying, please come to this university.
And they're building all kinds of amenities to draw people like a major amphitheater under construction right now, new restaurants are opening up. The arts program is going to be much more intense. The university has gone to division one in basketball and they want the public to come on. So they're seeking a different relationship and that's going to mean over time.
