Audit Criticizes AmeriCorps Program at City University of New York
An inspector general has found that the federal government should stop an AmeriCorps program that provides money for the Teaching Fellows project at City University of New York because it does not meet the essential AmeriCorps criterion of filling an “unmet” need, the publication Youth Today reported.
Gerald Walpin, inspector general for the Corporation for National and Community Service, said in an audit that the federal government should recover the money it has spent on the program, which the university estimates could be as much as $75-million. He said the AmeriCorps money duplicated other programs and played no role in attracting people to the fellows project.
The corporation disputed the findings and said it would not halt the program.
