Education Sample Issue Resolution
|
The following is a hypothetical designed to demonstrate the JustUs® process;
any reference to real life names or events is purely coincidental.
Fraud/Theft:
"Stacey" had noticed that revenue from ticket sales for the high school football games had
decreased during the second half of the season. She wasn’t sure who was responsible, but when
she looked at the books, something just didn’t seem right. She suspected that the individual
responsible for ticket sales was letting friends in free.
An investigation revealed that there were no checks and balances on ticket sales. Without proof
that this individual was letting friends in free, discipline of this individual would have been
improper. However, JustUs® recommended hiring a second individual to collect stubs at the gate.
Once the school implemented the new system, having one person selling tickets and another collecting
tickets for entry, revenue from ticket sales returned to normal.
In this instance, failing to address the problem may have cost the school money. Additionally,
accusing or disciplining the individual responsible for selling the tickets of wrongdoing without
proof may have exposed the school to the risk of bad publicity or litigation, whether merited or not.
By having JustUs® the issue was brought to the light. Whoever was responsible for the lost revenues
changed their behavior. The issue was addressed in a timely, cost-effective manner that ultimately
improved the school’s bottom line.
