Emergency Management Plan Modernization & Compliance
Emergency Management · Campus Safety & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The university's Emergency Management Plan is nearly seven years old, references a decommissioned notification system, and has not completed required annual reviews or documented exercises. A three-year safety and security audit due in 2024 remains unresolved, compounding institutional compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Explicit FY 2027 budget allocations for University Police and Risk Management & Safety, alongside an expansionary institutional budget, create a timely funding pathway. Addressing overdue mandates now reduces audit exposure, strengthens campus safety outcomes, and aligns with active emergency management and business continuity strategic initiatives.

Campus Safety · Facilities Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The university's existing campus-wide fire alarm system requires upgrade or full replacement across facilities, and the project has been identified and funded as a strategic initiative. Aging life-safety infrastructure elevates compliance risk and threatens the continuity of campus operations and occupant safety.
The opportunity
With funding already confirmed and procurement in an active planning phase, this project is positioned for near-term execution. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline acquisition, reduce administrative burden, and ensure responsible stewardship of institutional funds.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Higher Education Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The university must achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by the fixed regulatory deadline of April 26, 2027, with active institutional initiatives confirming known gaps. Legacy digital infrastructure, including existing content management and document platforms, requires structured remediation to meet federal accessibility standards and ensure equitable access for all students and staff.
The opportunity
A firm 2027 compliance deadline, combined with an interim IT leadership transition and newly approved IT and cybersecurity funding, creates a near-term window to prioritize and act. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal and audit exposure, supports equitable service delivery, and aligns remediation investment with the current FY planning and budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Password Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The university operates under active cybersecurity password security compliance requirements while relying on a legacy password management solution that no longer meets current standards. A funded Cyber Security Renovation initiative is underway, and endpoint management compliance obligations remain active, elevating institutional risk.
The opportunity
Newly approved cybersecurity budget allocations and an interim CIO transition in October 2025 create an immediate window to modernize credential and endpoint security. Acting within the current spending cycle aligns with strategic initiatives already funded and reduces compliance exposure ahead of the next audit period.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Security
High Priority
About this project
The university operates a legacy remote monitoring and management solution that no longer meets active endpoint management compliance requirements, creating operational and security risk. Newly approved IT and data-center funding signals readiness to address this gap, while an interim CIO transition adds urgency to reassess current tooling.
The opportunity
Newly approved IT and data-center budget allocations, combined with over $2.7M in annual IT and software spend, create a viable funding pathway within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now allows the institution to align modernization efforts with leadership priorities and reduce compliance exposure before the next audit cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The university operates a mixed fleet lacking documented dash cameras or telematics, creating liability exposure and limited operational oversight. A recent minor fleet accident underscores the gap, and the existing fleet management system does not provide the real-time visibility needed to manage risk effectively.
The opportunity
Confirmed cooperative purchasing agreements offer an accelerated procurement path, reducing time-to-implementation within the current fiscal cycle. Modernizing fleet telematics now strengthens driver accountability, supports risk management mandates, and positions the institution to address liability proactively before incidents escalate.
