Stay Compliant. Support Faculty. Strengthen Your Campus.

Colleges and universities in Nevada face complex HR challenges that go beyond the classroom. From recruiting and retaining faculty to managing compliance, payroll, and union negotiations, higher education institutions must balance academic excellence with administrative precision. With NAE as your HR partner, you can ensure compliance, support your staff, and keep your campus running smoothly.

Why HR Is Critical in Higher Education

Colleges are unique workplaces that bring together faculty, administrators, adjunct professors, and support staff—all with different needs and requirements. HR in higher education plays a vital role in:

  • Recruiting & Retention: Attracting qualified faculty, adjunct professors, and administrative staff while managing turnover.
  • Compliance & Employment Law: Navigating wage and hour laws, Title IX regulations, and higher education labor policies.
  • Faculty Contracts & Tenure: Managing multi-year contracts, tenure review processes, and academic employment structures.
  • Union & Employee Relations: Supporting negotiations and maintaining healthy communication between administration and unions.
  • Training & Professional Development: Ensuring ongoing compliance training, leadership programs, and skill development.

Common HR Challenges for Colleges

  • Managing compliance with federal and state labor laws (FMLA, ADA, Title IX)
  • Addressing adjunct faculty turnover and contract management
  • Handling complex payroll structures across multiple roles and departments
  • Balancing student safety policies with staff rights and responsibilities
  • Navigating union relationships and collective bargaining agreements
