A 40 percent cut

You are the treasurer of a student club.

The club runs three programs: a mentoring program for first-generation students, monthly social events that most members attend, and a conference trip for six executive members. The executive has asked you to recommend what to cut.

The two questions

  1. 1How would you decide what to recommend?
  2. 2What information do you need before making a decision that will disappoint people?
