Summary

---

"This follow up audit demonstrates that CUNY continues to have limited success in ensuring that students take full advantage of the counseling and tutoring services provided by CDP," [William C. Thompson] said. "This program is of vital importance for educationally and economically disadvantaged students, and must be utilized to its full potential."

"Without the proper controls in place, CUNY cannot ensure that the CDP resources are providing the necessary assistance to students," Thompson said. "As such, I believe that CUNY should implement minimum counseling and tutoring standards for CDPs in order to better monitor their performance."

"CDPs often fell short when it came to providing counseling and tutoring services to students who were at risk of failing," Thompson said. "This is a major problem that should immediately be addressed by CUNY officials."
