Changes in Parking at 225 Clarkson Avenue
Effective July 31, 2024, the 225 Clarkson Avenue lot will close to monthly parking due to an ending lease.
Next week, anyone who currently has monthly parking privileges will receive an electronic parking questionnaire. The Downstate Parking Office will utilize the responses from this questionnaire to reassign parkers to other locations. Parking reassignment will be based on your responses, as well as availability, and how long you have had monthly parking privileges.
The questionnaire is very brief and should take no more than 5 minutes to complete.
A personalized, one-time use questionnaire link will be sent to the e-mail address that you provided to the Parking Office.
The deadline for completing the questionnaire is Friday, June 28th.
If we do not receive your responses by this date, we will assume that you no longer want monthly parking privileges at Downstate.
If you want monthly parking again in the future, you will have to contact the Parking Office and place your name at the bottom of the parking waitlist.
You can use the computers in the library if you do not have access to a computer.
If you have any questions, please send an email to ParkingSurvey@downstate.edu.

Internal Controls: Tone at the Top
“Internal Controls” is a term that describes the steps taken by SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University (Downstate) to ensure that it operates competently and in accordance with relevant regulations and policy objectives.
Establishing a robust internal control system helps to reduce the possibility of risk and enables smooth and effective operations. Each person at Downstate plays a pivotal part in ensuring effective internal controls.
As a New York State agency, Downstate must comply with the requirements of the “New York State Governmental Accountability, Audit and Internal Control Act of 1987.” This legislation requires all State agencies to design a system of internal controls to ensure efficient and ethical operations.
To conform with this legislation, Downstate management must continuously evaluate internal controls within their respective units to ensure the effectiveness in achieving goals. This means that managers should determine what information is needed to ensure effective operations and that they receive and consistently review that data. Examples of internal controls include the development of specific policies and procedures that detail a unit’s processes, generating reports to identify outlier situations, or implementing system controls to prevent certain activities.
To ensure that Downstate remains a fulfilling organization to work and grow professionally, internal controls must be integrated into its operations on a regular basis.
I have confidence that everyone will continue to actively participate in and enhance this program.
