Michigan State University is asking its faculty and professors to trade in their chalkboards for a smorgasbord and work in the college’s campus dining halls amid struggles to fill the low-paying job posts during an unprecedented staffing shortage.
The desperate plea came in the form of an email to faculty Monday, as students return to the esteemed university after a year of remote learning.
The school, whose motto is ‘Go Green,’ is not going to give these scholarly substitute workers any ‘green’ at all: they would be volunteering.
In the email, Vennie Gore, the school’s senior vice president for residential and hospitality services and auxiliary enterprises, urged staffers — including professors — to cast aside their self-regard and pick up a serving spoon and an apron.

‘Lines are long, it takes a while to get my food,’ one student griped to .
‘Like the dorm we’re in, there is supposed to be a dining hall — but they can’t do it because there are no workers,’ another student also told the outlet.
Devin Silvia, director manfaat tidur of undergraduate studies in MSU´s computational math department, told Fox 2 that she found the request to members of the 166-year-old school’s esteemed faculty ‘astounding,’ considering the pay they’re offering.
‘I am all about supporting the MSU student community and making sure they have a positive experience,’ Silvia said.
‘But at the end of the day, I’m doing that in my own career and questioning whether I’m being sufficiently compensated.’
Some associate MSU professors make between $20,000 to $30,000 a year, according to university data.
‘It’s crazy that the request was put out, but they need something to happen,’ one student said of the staffing situation.
‘I think it’s a little crazy — teachers already have a lot on their hands,’ added another.
‘It’s complicated,’ said one.
‘I know why they are making that request because it is understaffed in the kitchen. But I don’t think we should put that stress on them.’

According to the university, several faculty and staff have already answered the call, volunteering their time while they continue to hunt for workers to fill the positions in the cafeteria.
In a statement recently released from the university, school officials said the reason behind the brazen request has to do with past success.
‘Faculty and staff have been so generous in volunteering to help with move-in and other important events, we wanted to reach out and provide this opportunity to help relieve some of the burdens from culinary team members who have been working many long hours since school began.’
