Achieve WCAG 2.1 Compliance Across Digital Properties
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A federal mandate requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 2027/2028, and current gaps across fragmented public-facing portals create legal and accessibility exposure. Inconsistent content management tooling increases the risk of non-compliance, affecting equitable access for students, staff, and the public.
The opportunity
Budget planning for FY2027/2028 begins as early as November 2026, creating an immediate window to secure funding and initiate procurement through established cooperative contracts. Acting now allows the institution to remediate gaps ahead of the federal deadline and reduce legal liability while supporting equitable digital access.

Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The campus Emergency Operations Plan is overdue for update, the hazard analysis is stale, and documented gaps in mass notification coverage leave students, staff, and visitors underserved during critical incidents. An all-hazards emergency management plan and mass notification modernization are active strategic priorities, signaling institutional recognition of the operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
FY2027/2028 budget planning beginning November 2026 creates a near-term window to advance this initiative, supported by a $1.5M campus security allocation and an indirect grant signal for community response. Incoming university leadership increases receptiveness to modernization, and established cooperative procurement vehicles provide a compliant, efficient path to award.

Identity & Access Management · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The institution has active cybersecurity and identity-security modernization initiatives, with fragmented password and identity management tools currently in use across the environment. Consolidating these solutions would reduce credential-based risk, simplify administration, and better align with institutional cybersecurity mandates.
The opportunity
Ongoing IT modernization efforts and recent leadership transitions signal organizational readiness to consolidate identity tools, and the upcoming FY budget planning cycle creates a timely funding window. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, enabling a streamlined procurement path with reduced administrative burden.

About this project
The institution currently operates multiple overlapping endpoint security and patch management platforms, creating administrative redundancy and increased operational risk.

The opportunity
Incoming finance and IT leadership are actively receptive to consolidation proposals, and FY2027/2028 budget planning begins November 2026—creating a near-term window to advance this initiative. Established cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, reducing procurement complexity and accelerating time to implementation.
