Genesee prosecutor enjoys teaching
position at Mott CC

Working with students brings enormous satisfaction to Arthur Busch, who says the rewards he receives teaching are worth more than any paycheck

Genesee County Prosecutor Arthur Busch has served as a part-time faculty member at Mott Community College since 1978.

FLINT--Arthur Busch shares two loves in his professional life--his elected position as Genesee County prosecutor he's held since 1993 and his position as a part-time faculty member at Mott Community College in Flint.

"I can't believe I get paid to teach," Busch said. "I get so much satisfaction from teaching at Mott. It's good for me to spend time in the classroom. Most of my days as prosecutor are spent with folks in unhappy circumstances.

"Being in the classroom invigorates me. I get back much more than I'm able to give in the process."

Teaching isn't new for Busch. He's been a part-time faculty member at Mott since 1978, long before he became an attorney.

Earning a bachelor's degree from James Madison College at Michigan State University and a master's in labor and industrial relations from MSU, and working as a personnel and safety supervisor in the private sector, Busch taught management and labor relations classes at Mott.

The Flint native later earned a degree from Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing and represented labor unions in private practice before his election as Genesee County prosecutor in November of 1992.

Busch, who has taught at Mott for parts of four decades, enjoys helping students.

"I can tell you without equivocation that these students are so bright and full of energy and that many of them have overcome obstacles just to be here," he said. "It's a privilege for me to be able to work with them."

Busch says students in his criminal law and justice classes are fascinated to discuss real-life cases that the Genesee prosecutor's office has handled.

"We certainly have ample room to talk about a case that has just concluded and relate law theory to what students have read in their textbooks," he said.

Teaching at Mott gives Busch the opportunity to help shape students' futures.

"These students are full of hopes and dreams and positive about their futures," he said. "The rewards I receive back from the students are worth more than any paycheck."
