The decline in enrollment at Central Michigan University is one of the factors that impacted the number of custodial workers on campus, CMU officials say. In 2017, there were 92 custodians employed by the university. In 2025, that number has decreased to 69, a 25% decrease in staffing.
“Adjustments have been made across campus in response to reductions in staffing and resources. These changes have included expanding second and third shift opportunities, implementing team-based cleaning strategies and prioritizing the upkeep of common areas,” Jonathan Webb, associate vice president of Facilities Management, said.
