The Board of Trustees heard additional information from NMC executive staff
regarding a Voluntary Incentive Plan (VIP) for NMC employees. Bill Hendry, Director
of Human Resources, addressed the board on the impact of the VIP on employee groups
(potential numbers) and the recruiting and hiring of quality people for new faculty
and staff positions.
Dr. Stephen Siciliano, Vice President for Educational Services, reported initial
favorable reaction among faculty and staff to the idea of a Voluntary Incentive
Plan. He assured the board that the VIP would not be used to reduce full-time
faculty positions and increase adjunct faculty ones. Dr. Keith Overbaugh reviewed
the college process for position proposals and prioritization—which included submission
of position requests from department supervisors, executive staff review, and
Planning/Budget Council's prioritization. No decisions were made or actions taken.
The study session adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
