Web & PDF Accessibility Compliance Remediation
ADA & Web Accessibility · Higher Education Compliance
High Priority
About this project
MSU Texas is actively remediating website, web application, online course, and PDF accessibility gaps against a hard WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027. Failure to meet this federal mandate elevates legal, reputational, and equity risks for students, staff, and the public.
The opportunity
A confirmed $300,000 SSAP 3.0 grant explicitly covers accessible instructional content tools, and FY 2027 budget allocations support IT and accessibility work. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, enabling accelerated procurement well ahead of the compliance deadline.

Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
MSU Texas operates a fragmented emergency management ecosystem spanning mass notification, access control, and a safety app, with no unified platform. Gaps in EOP review status, exercise history, and contact data currency elevate operational risk and reduce coordinated response effectiveness.
The opportunity
A $2.5M Campus Safety Improvements capital program is actively seeking funding, creating a timely budget pathway for consolidation. With annual IT and public safety tech spend exceeding $4.2M and cooperative purchasing agreements available, MSU Texas is well-positioned to reduce fragmentation, strengthen compliance posture, and improve emergency response outcomes this fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A vacant Information Security Officer position has created a critical leadership gap, leaving cybersecurity governance without dedicated oversight. A biennial Texas information security plan deadline of June 1, 2026 adds compliance urgency, elevating institutional risk if gaps are not addressed.
The opportunity
The CICI grant offers a relevant funding pathway for cybersecurity investment, and an increased FY 2027 operating budget supports near-term action. Addressing this now closes the leadership gap, meets the state compliance deadline, and strengthens the institution's security posture ahead of the next planning cycle.

IT Modernization · Higher Education Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
MSU Texas has identified IT modernization and remote work enablement as strategic priorities, backed by over $4.2 million in annual IT and software investment. Without standardized endpoint management, institutions face operational gaps, security exposure, and inefficiencies that affect staff productivity and service continuity.
The opportunity
FY 2027 budget support and infrastructure modernization funds are confirmed, and cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to accelerate procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces operational risk and positions the university to maximize available funding for long-term IT resilience.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Gap Assessment
Fleet Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
MSU Texas operates a University Vehicles program with existing safety controls, but a gap remains in fleet telematics visibility. Without proactive monitoring, the institution carries latent liability and operational risk even in the absence of recent incidents.
The opportunity
FTA grant funding is a referenced pathway for fleet safety improvements, and cooperative purchasing agreements are already in place to streamline procurement. Addressing this gap during current FY planning positions the university to reduce long-term liability before risk escalates.
