Arthur Evans, Ph.D., the American Psychological Association Chief Executive Officer, announced in mid-June that the APA was eliminating 50 vacant and 50 currently filled APA employee positions. Subsequent financial information about this decision revealed that the APA has for years had a significant deficit budget due to expenses exceeding income that had not been accounted for in its annual budget but had been funded by spending out of long-term investments. Concerns about the impact of personnel changes were raised by some APA divisions (e.g. Divisions 42 and 31) and how loss of staff will impact important activities such as advocating for psychologists.
