Competence vs. Need
The decision problem has been identified by looking at the fact that one area of the college has to go. There is no reason to see that there are any other choices other than the one that is being decided upon by the Board of Trustees. In other words, the dilemma in this particular case has been whittled down to the idea that either the speech clinic or the high school must go, and there are no other alternative solutions that would allow the college to keep both of those things and scale back some of the other programs. Because the case study does not say why things have been determined this way -- other than the fact that these two areas are the most expensive for the college to run -- there is no clear way to understand the decision problem any more thoroughly or to explore the issue in some other way that might lead to a change of ideas for what could be done to stay within the budget.

In a community college in North Carolina (where there is a serious shortage of nurses) the entire nursing program is cut back to the point that there is a "waiting list just to get on the waiting list" (Rampell). When states run short of money they cut back on funds to community colleges, and when that happens it not only hurts students and their families, but it hurts communities. When
