Web Accessibility & Digital Presence Modernization
Web Accessibility · Higher Education Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The university's digital presence does not meet federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards, creating legal and operational exposure ahead of the April 2027/2028 compliance deadline. A recent academic reorganization further requires broad updates to websites, portals, and digital content systems.
The opportunity
The April 2027/2028 federal deadline creates a firm, time-bound window for action, and the FY2026–27 approved operating budget with increased capital outlay provides a current funding pathway. New institutional leadership and ongoing reorganization make this an ideal moment to advance digital modernization and reduce compliance risk.
Campus Emergency Plan Modernization and Notification Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The university's emergency preparedness plan is over a decade old, with no current version located despite UT System Policy SA0200 mandating annual reviews. Gaps in mass notification coverage and the absence of a named emergency management coordinator create compounding safety and compliance risk for students, staff, and the broader campus community.
The opportunity
A recently approved FY2026–27 operating budget and campus safety listed as a funded strategic priority create an active spending window. Addressing plan currency, coordinator accountability, and notification coverage now reduces audit exposure and aligns with non-discretionary UT System compliance requirements.
Campus Mass Notification Coverage and Integration Upgrade
Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification system has documented coverage gaps that limit campus-wide emergency communications effectiveness. No named emergency management coordinator is in place, and the publicly available emergency plan is over a decade old—creating compliance exposure under system-level policy requiring annual reviews.
The opportunity
The FY2026–27 budget has been approved with capital outlay funding, opening a near-term spending window for safety infrastructure investment. Addressing notification gaps now reduces compliance risk under institutional emergency management mandates and strengthens campus-wide emergency response outcomes.
Cybersecurity & Credential Management Program
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
UT System IT policy mandates cybersecurity improvements with explicit deadlines and defined consequences for non-compliance. The university's existing Microsoft 365/Duo/TeamDynamix environment presents integration opportunities for credential and password management tooling to reduce identity-related risk and meet policy requirements.
The opportunity
The approved FY2026–27 budget, including capital and infrastructure allocations, provides a viable and current funding path for this non-discretionary initiative. Acting within this budget cycle addresses compliance mandates directly, reduces institutional risk, and advances the university's stated cybersecurity improvement strategic initiative.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Campus Operations
High Priority
About this project
The university carries self-insured auto liability and physical damage exposure with no documented fleet safety technology—no dash cameras or telematics—currently in use. This visibility gap limits incident prevention and creates direct financial risk across campus vehicle operations.
The opportunity
The approved FY2026–27 operating budget and capital outlay funding provide an active spending window to address this gap before incidents generate unbudgeted liability costs. Implementing fleet safety technology now reduces financial exposure and strengthens institutional stewardship of public assets.
