The research team had been working tirelessly for months when the university announced severe budget cuts. Dr. Chen, although initially reluctant to accept the decision, eventually recognized that the constraints could drive innovation. "We had to rethink everything," she later explained in an interview. "The limitations forced us to be creative in ways we never would have been otherwise." Her colleagues, however, remained skeptical about whether the reduced funding would truly lead to better outcomes.
What does the writer suggest about Dr. Chen's initial reaction to the funding decision?
