W EA KNESSES ● The institution has an aging facility that requires extra funds that need additional funds to maintain. ● There has been a reduction in state funding across the United States. The lack of other resources limits CUNY SPS in updating programs and coping with rising fixed costs. ● Slow response to students’ needs.
