- Title
CAMPUS BLOOD DRIVE SUSPENSION: EFFECTIVE OR INEFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL DECISION MAKING?
- Authors
Osland, Asbjorn; Inamdar, Noorein
- Abstract
This critical incident focuses on decision making. Though the Faculty Senate at CSU - North Bay voted on April 24, 2008 to suspend blood drives, the university president, Armando Ramirez wondered what to do. Should he ban blood drives based on alleged discrimination against gay men? A sister school within the California State University system, San José State University (SJSU), decided in early 2008 to suspend blood drives based on the opinion that the ban on donations from men who have had sex with men (MSM) was discriminatory. The descriptive material in the case focuses on SJSU's deliberations and decision making.
