Credential Security & Breach Remediation Modernization
Cybersecurity · Higher Education IT
High Priority
About this project
A $1.75 million data breach settlement with claims due by August 2026 has created immediate pressure to strengthen credential management and access controls. Despite existing multi-factor authentication and password policies, the absence of a dedicated credential management solution leaves the institution exposed to continued financial, reputational, and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The August 2026 claims deadline creates a hard remediation window, and the FY 2026 Nonprofit Security Grant Program represents a viable funding path for eligible cybersecurity improvements. Incoming executive leadership in 2025–2026 further positions this as a timely moment to advance durable, policy-aligned security infrastructure.

Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Lee University's emergency communication relies on fragmented, siloed systems — including an opt-in alert platform with unknown coverage — with no documented exercises or after-action reviews. The emergency management plan is within its review window, and gaps in preparedness coverage elevate risk to campus safety and operational continuity.
The opportunity
A 2024 campus safety technology grant and the FY 2026 Nonprofit Security Grant Program provide viable funding pathways for consolidation. Acting within the current planning cycle aligns with leadership transition momentum and closes documented preparedness gaps before the next review deadline.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The university carries an active mandate for WCAG 2.0 Level AA compliance—with identified gaps extending to WCAG 2.1—across digital content managed on fragmented platforms, creating inconsistent accessibility oversight. Unresolved gaps expose the institution to legal liability and reputational risk while limiting equitable access for students and staff with disabilities.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions in the 2025–2026 timeframe create a favorable window for prioritizing this currently unfunded initiative, and the institution's demonstrated capacity to secure external grants supports a viable funding path. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces ongoing legal exposure and advances the university's stated commitment to inclusive digital access.
Centralized Endpoint Management for Campus IT Governance
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A new engineering building and an active IT governance initiative are expanding endpoint complexity across campus, while no centralized device management solution has been confirmed. A recent data breach settlement underscores the operational and reputational risk of fragmented infrastructure oversight.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions and a funded cybersecurity modernization initiative create a timely window for advancing endpoint governance decisions in the 2025–2026 planning cycle. The FY 2026 Nonprofit Security Grant Program represents a potential funding path aligned with these infrastructure and security needs.
