Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Compliance
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The institution lacks documented EOP details, has no evidence of HSEEP-style exercises, and has no emergency management grant funding in place. Significant compliance gaps around NIMS implementation and EOP upkeep expose the university to operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Strong compliance mandates and a high-urgency focus on mass notification create a near-term window to close preparedness gaps before the next fiscal cycle. Cooperative procurement pathways and potential federal funding eligibility can reduce local cost burden while advancing mission-critical safety outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The university's current mass notification system is under active institutional review, with the highest urgency score assigned to this capability. Gaps in EOP documentation and NIMS compliance elevate operational and regulatory risk for students, staff, and campus safety continuity.
The opportunity
A leadership transition and active system evaluation create a near-term window to advance modernization. Cooperative procurement pathways and potential federal funding alignment support cost-effective action within the current planning cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
No enterprise password management solution is in place, creating a documented security and compliance gap that elevates institutional risk. With the CIO position currently vacant, the absence of foundational credential governance leaves staff, systems, and sensitive data exposed.
The opportunity
The NSF SaTC grant program offers a direct funding pathway for cybersecurity initiatives, aligning with the current fiscal planning cycle. Acting now leverages leadership transition momentum and closes a critical compliance gap before audit or incident exposure increases.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Transportation Technology
High Priority
About this project
The university manages a vehicle fleet and tracks incidents but lacks documented telematics or dashcam capabilities, creating gaps in liability protection and incident documentation. This absence of fleet safety technology elevates operational and legal risk for the institution and the communities it serves.
The opportunity
NSF Smart & Connected Communities grant funding offers a viable path to address fleet technology gaps with reduced local budget impact, aligning well with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle. Acting now positions the institution to close a documented safety gap, strengthen accountability, and demonstrate responsible stewardship of public assets.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The university's web presence lacks a WCAG accessibility statement, signaling a potential gap in ADA and Section 508 compliance obligations. Without documented accessibility standards across digital properties, the institution faces growing legal exposure and inequitable access for students, staff, and the public.
The opportunity
Proactively addressing accessibility compliance reduces litigation risk and aligns with federal civil rights obligations before enforcement action occurs. Remediation efforts may be eligible for institutional technology or equity-focused funding and support broader digital inclusion goals heading into the next fiscal cycle.
