New adjunct faculty at Northwestern Michigan College will now be employees of Edustaff, an educational staffing company, while those who are already employed by the college have the option to switch or to stay with NMC. The change also impacts a pool of supplemental employees who may work in offices or as groundskeepers and more who will also have the option to go with Edustaff, said Cari Noga, communications director for NMC. The pool is made up of people who may already be retired or those who live elsewhere during the winter. The new policy went into effect July 1, though NMC will continue to make all hiring decisions, Noga said. So far, 15 adjunct faculty and 15 supplemental staff switched to Edustaff, she said.
