The Alliance of BC Students is in favour of supports being provided to students during the COVID-19 crisis. We are in favour of eligibility for the BC Emergency Benefit for Workers being opened up to those who are eligible for the Canada Emergency Student Benefit, more funding for Open Educational Reseources, dedicated funding for students who require additional technology to access classes while in a remote learning situation, increased funding for institutional counselling services, supports for students whose classwork is being affected by their parent status, the BC Rental Subsidy being opened up to students living in on-campus housing, emergency funding for PSIs or allowing PSIs to budget a deficit to avoid layoffs and service cuts, and continued funding for transit to ensure service continuity to PSI campuses for students who still need access to their campuses physically.
