With the rapid spread of the novel Corona virus, it becomes more likely that the University of Alabama at Birmingham's campus may shutdown. This provides a lot of problems to students. The one this petition is addressing is the pay of student workers. If the campus shuts down, many students lose their primary, if not only, source of income.

What I wish to achieve is simple. Have the University pay their student workers during the time of shutdown. I myself am even affected by this. If campus shuts down and I do not get paid "sick leave", I have no clue how I am going to feed myself, let alone pay my rent and other bills.

I thank all of you for taking your time to read this and consider signing. Please share this with anyone and everyone you can. The campus hasn't given students any input into this situation so far, so this is the best solution I can think of. I only hope this doesn't fall onto deaf ears. Thank you once again.
