Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Compliance
Emergency Management · Higher Education Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The university's Emergency Operations Plan has been critically overdue since 2013, and the status of its Hazard Mitigation Plan remains unresolved — exposing the institution to significant regulatory and operational risk. These gaps leave students, staff, and campus operations vulnerable during emergency events and create compounding compliance liability.
The opportunity
Incoming executive leadership creates a timely window to prioritize EOP remediation, and federal grant programs such as HSGP and BRIC offer viable funding paths with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and strengthens campus-wide emergency readiness.
Mass Notification System Expansion and Modernization
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The university's current mass notification system has identified gaps in reach and reliability, and the underlying Emergency Operations Plan has not been updated since 2013—creating compounding compliance and operational risk. Expanding and modernizing campus-wide alerting capabilities is now a stated strategic priority, with new leadership creating a timely window for evaluation.
The opportunity
Emergency management grant funding, including HSGP-aligned programs, may offset modernization costs with limited local match required. Acting within the current planning cycle supports compliance remediation, strengthens campus safety outcomes, and aligns with leadership priorities already in motion.
Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The university has active compliance obligations under WCAG 2.0 Level AA, with ongoing WCAG 2.1 remediation work still in progress across digital portals. A supplier and eProcurement portal transition effective July 2026 intensifies the urgency to close accessibility gaps before the new system goes live.
The opportunity
The July 2026 portal transition creates a defined, compliance-driven window to remediate accessibility gaps before new systems launch. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports audit readiness, reduces legal exposure, and may align with cooperative procurement vehicles already in place.
Strengthen Credential Security and Password Governance
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The institution's recurring six-month NetID password expiry policy signals a need for enterprise-grade credential management beyond current capabilities. Without a more robust solution, the campus faces elevated risk of credential compromise, audit exposure, and gaps in identity security alongside its active MFA rollout.
The opportunity
The COPS Technology and Equipment Program (TEP) grant identifies cybersecurity—including password management—as an eligible use, providing a viable funding path. Acting within the current grant cycle aligns with compliance mandates and supports the institution's broader identity security posture at reduced local cost.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The university's fleet — including police and shuttle vehicles — lacks dashcam and telematics coverage, creating preventive safety risk and liability exposure from disputed incidents. This operational gap leaves the institution without the data needed to protect drivers, passengers, and public assets.
The opportunity
COPS Technology and Equipment Program (TEP) grant funding is applicable for campus policing fleet needs, offering a viable path to address this gap with limited local match. Acting within the current grant window accelerates procurement and reduces ongoing liability and safety risk.
COPS Technology and Equipment Program
Discuss this project →Unified Endpoint Management & IT Operations Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The university's endpoint environment relies on fragmented tools across protection, privileged access, and vulnerability management, creating visibility gaps and operational risk. Without a unified management layer, IT teams face compounding complexity, inconsistent policy enforcement, and exposure across managed and unmanaged devices.
The opportunity
COPS TEP grant funding is applicable to IT and cybersecurity needs, offering a viable path to modernize the endpoint stack within the current grant window. New executive leadership and an upcoming fiscal cycle create a timely opening to consolidate tooling, reduce redundancy, and strengthen institutional cyber resilience.
