Web Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The university faces a DOJ-mandated WCAG/ADA compliance deadline of April 2026, with remediation work underway but incomplete. A concurrent internal website redesign compounds urgency, as unresolved digital accessibility gaps across public-facing portals carry significant legal and reputational risk.
The opportunity
The April 2026 DOJ deadline creates a defined procurement window, and the active website redesign offers a natural integration point to address compliance efficiently. Multiple grant opportunities with mid-2026 deadlines and available cooperative purchasing vehicles support accelerated, cost-effective action this fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Gaps in public Emergency Operations Plan availability and mass notification system transparency leave the campus community underserved, particularly as recent regional flooding has elevated preparedness risk. The current notification system's coverage and transparency limitations create operational vulnerability for students, staff, and surrounding residents.
The opportunity
Multiple active grant opportunities with mid-2026 deadlines directly align with emergency management modernization, offering clear funding paths with limited local match requirements. With a fiscal year ending June 30 and a budget cycle running April–May, the near-term procurement window is well-defined. Acting now closes critical EOP and notification gaps before the next severe weather season.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The institution's password and credential management policy is under active review, signaling a recognized gap in security hygiene that has not yet been resolved through a formal solution. Without standardized controls, the risk of unauthorized access to institutional systems and sensitive data remains elevated.
The opportunity
Grant opportunities with mid-2026 deadlines provide viable funding paths for this initiative, and existing cooperative purchasing agreements can accelerate procurement. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle reduces credential risk while aligning with institutional security governance priorities.

Discuss this project →Fleet & Campus Safety Telematics Readiness
Fleet Safety · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The institution operates police and shuttle fleets identified as candidates for telematics and safety monitoring, but no formal procurement or active initiative is underway. Without proactive monitoring, fleet liability exposure and safety accountability gaps may grow over time.
The opportunity
Existing cooperative purchasing agreements already in use by the institution can reduce procurement friction and timeline when a formal initiative is launched. Aligning this project with the upcoming budget cycle positions the institution to act efficiently before operational or liability pressures escalate.
