NMC Abandons Outsourcing Plans
May 28, 2015
"We will no longer be investigating a partnership with EDUStaff."
With those words in "NMC Communique," Northwestern Michigan College President Tim Nelson announced the college would abandon its exploration of a potential relationship with Grand Rapids-based EDUStaff, a company specializing in contract management, to oversee administration of contracts for adjunct and part-time supplemental staff.
Nelson cited a Michigan House of Representatives Bill 4052 that could "significantly change the relationship NMC would have with adjunct faculty or supplemental staff employed through EDUStaff. I am not interested in pursuing an approach where NMC could not set wages, conditions of employment, evaluation, and provide professional development resources as it currently does. It appears this legislation could prohibit this."
