Pros

Academic researchers and postdocs are now covered by a union which has been continually improving the overall employment conditions and career potential.

Cons

I am not sure if it is a campus for people or cars because it is pretty much built to be reached by cars and not people. Big bummer especially given the major impacts climate change brought and increasingly is bringing to the Inland Empire.
