>They are pretty open that they want to hire locals/alumni only.

Is that actually stated somewhere? Or do you think maybe it's really hard to recruit people to come work at a nondescript school in Presque Isle?

I understand your question and it’s fair.

It’s openly discussed. There have been several positions in the last five years were people from away applied, were qualified, went through the interviews, etc but each time the idea that only locals would understand that community won over.

That’s feedback that needs to be addressed to folks like UMPI admin who can impact hiring decisions.
