New River Valley Community College would like to add an e-commerce program to their curriculum,since the demand for graduates from these programs has increased dramatically in recent years.The introduction of such a program would require the hiring of a number of new faculty members.So far,the college has been unable to develop the program.The change has been blocked because the administrators cannot reallocate sufficient funds between departments in the college's personnel budget to allow the hiring of the necessary faculty.These funds have been committed for the long term since the majority of the faculty at New River Valley Community College are tenured.This would most appropriately be considered an example of ____ as a source of organizational resistance to change.
