Problem 1. What information might Ben, the business manager for the division, provide to Dr. Hurston and Dean Westover to help with the process outlined in this case study?
Problem 2. After the meeting with the VPSA and the Dean, Ben receives an email from the Student Counseling Center that they need to hire another counselor due to an unanticipated vacancy. Without hiring another staff member, they could lose their accreditation. Ben knows that with some of the retirements across the division, money could be reallocated to cover this position and one of the other two. Dr. Hurston asks Ben to develop proposals to retain two of the three positions based on cost and implications to the division. What should Ben take into consideration in developing these proposals?
