University of California bans encampments and face masks

President of university said policies are for ‘a safe, inclusive climate’ after pro-Palestinian protests swept across US

The Guardian

Here's the list of things banned from University of California.

It says "no person shall wear a mask with the intent of
intimidating any person or group, or for the purpose of evading identification."

Unclear if it includes wearing masks for COVID protection or health reasons.

That’s a very vague definition. How can it be proved that evading identification is the goal? If I was participating in a protect or march, I’d be masking for my own safety.
