Petition created to close CSUMB due to coronavirus risk

A petition has been created to close CSUMB, amid growing fears of the coronavirus.

The petition reads in part, " Schools across the state have canceled in-person classes and moved on to create an online platform in order to help alleviate the spread of the virus. If the virus is found in Monterey County, it will spread like wildfire if someone contracts it on campus especially in the dorms. The University of Monterey Bay should close or cancel in-person classes until there is enough evidence that it is safe for students to return to class."

KION has reached out to CSUMB for comment on the matter, but has not yet heard back.
