Campus Emergency Crisis Response Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Campus Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Tusculum University's Emergency Crisis Response Plan is overdue, with no documented version beyond 2023–2025 and no recorded annual exercise reports, despite recent Hurricane Helene exposure. Clery Act mandates require annual plan review and emergency notification procedures, creating active compliance and operational risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
A newly appointed Campus Safety Chief in 2025–2026 creates a timely entry point for emergency management modernization aligned with institutional priorities. Addressing documented planning and compliance gaps now supports Clery Act adherence, strengthens campus resilience, and positions the university for relevant grant funding in the upcoming fiscal cycle.
Campus Emergency Communications & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
Tusculum's Emergency Crisis Response Plan is overdue, annual exercise documentation is lacking, and Clery Act emergency notification mandates remain unmet — gaps made more visible by recent hurricane exposure. The current mass notification setup lacks the integration needed to support a compliant, coordinated emergency communications posture.
The opportunity
A newly appointed Campus Safety Chief and an active institutional focus on emergency resilience create a timely opening to advance this initiative. Addressing plan gaps and notification deficiencies now reduces Clery Act compliance risk, strengthens campus safety outcomes, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
Strengthen Credential Security and Identity Management
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
A documented mandate for recurring password changes combined with a fragmented, multi-domain identity ecosystem creates measurable credential security risk and operational inefficiency. Without a unified approach, institutions face elevated exposure to unauthorized access and compliance gaps across staff and student systems.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP), with an August 2026 deadline, offers a viable funding path for cybersecurity enhancements including credential and identity management. Acting within this grant window aligns investment with compliance mandates and reduces institutional risk ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Transformation
High Priority
About this project
The university's WordPress-based web presence has identified gaps in ADA/Section 504 and WCAG 2.1 compliance, creating legal and reputational exposure. Ongoing student-service digitization efforts, including fillable PDF adoption, lack a documented conformance standard, leaving students and staff at risk of inequitable access.
The opportunity
Web accessibility and student-service digitization are active strategic priorities, creating internal momentum for near-term action. Addressing compliance gaps now reduces legal exposure, supports equitable service delivery, and positions the institution to align investments with the upcoming fiscal cycle.
