Kennesaw State University Closure For Coronavirus Kennesaw/Marrietta Campuses

The Issue

With the COVID-19 quickly spreading through Georgia, the students at Kennesaw State University should be allowed to finish all classes online until further notice. According to Cobb County's government website, 34 cruise passengers are set to base locally and all are under quarantine. Other confirmed cases in Cobb County have forced closures of daycares and businesses. Cobb County neighbors Fulton County, and officially on Tuesday, March 10th they have decided to close all schools in the county. Other universities nearby, like Georgia State University, have decided to make the move to all online classes until the end of the semester. KSU is  in a very prominent area of Georgia and is likely to come into contact with the Coronavirus at any time. We the students of Kennesaw State demand action to be taken for our safety and the community's well-being.
