Administrators must wrestle with questions of what programs are more necessary than others. Saving some programs means giving up others. Read the following vignette and answer the questions that follow.
The family services agency where you work counseling survivors of domestic violence has suffered significant budget cuts. The agency administration has indicated that it will eliminate some services in order to stay afloat. Potentially targeted programs include day-care for working parents, sex education and contraception counseling for teens, or the thriving but expensive foreign adoptions program. The agency’s other alternatives might include elimination of your own domestic violence program, decreasing staff for all programs including your own, or significantly cutting workers’ salaries (including your own) across the board.
