Add the non-faculty addresses as editors, using the Editor= keyword.

* Send= Editor,Hold,Confirm
* Editor= <your email address>, <listname>, <non-faculty addresses>

Put yourself in the first position, because only the first editor receives
copies of the mail sent to the list, and this will also divert all
nonsubscriber mail to you for approval.  By listing the list itself as an
editor, you allow all subscribers to post without you having to okay their
posts.  And by adding the non-faculty addresses as editors, you allow them
to post as well.  Then simply be sure that the non-faculty addresses are
not now subscribed to the list, and with Validate= Yes they won't be able
to subscribe without your approval.
