Emergency Communications & Continuity Planning Modernization
Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The university has identified continuity-of-operations planning gaps, an in-progress COOP platform transition, and unquantified mass notification coverage across campus. A recurring June 2027 continuity-plan submission deadline creates a hard compliance milestone, and current adoption gaps elevate operational and life-safety risk for students and staff.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes approved funding for all-hazards emergency management and mass notification modernization, with $208,367 in identified public safety tech spend. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with the June 2027 compliance deadline and strengthens campus-wide emergency response readiness.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The university faces a firm WCAG 2.1 AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, with documented gaps across web properties, digital services, and document accessibility. Failure to remediate exposes the institution to legal liability and limits equitable access for students, staff, and the public.
The opportunity
A budget-approved strategic initiative and a 7% FY2027 operating budget increase provide a clear funding pathway to act now. Addressing compliance ahead of the 2027 deadline reduces regulatory risk, advances digital equity, and aligns with established cooperative procurement vehicles to streamline execution.

Fleet Safety · Campus Operations
High Priority
About this project
The university's fleet currently lacks dash-camera and telematics coverage, leaving campus vehicles—including golf carts and contractor-access units—without adequate visibility or safety controls. This gap elevates operational and liability risk, particularly as recent campus vehicle incidents underscore the need for real-time monitoring and accountability.
The opportunity
A budget-approved fleet modernization initiative and active procurement environment signal near-term readiness, while the FY 2026 Bus Safety, Accessibility, and Innovation Research Program grant deadline of September 28, 2026 creates an immediate, time-sensitive funding pathway. Acting within this fiscal window enables the institution to close safety gaps, strengthen compliance posture, and maximize eligible external funding.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Management & Remote Work Enablement Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The university operates multiple overlapping endpoint management tools, creating consolidation risk and administrative complexity. A budget-approved strategic initiative and active compliance mandate for endpoint control require a coordinated approach to device management across on-site and remote work environments.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget approval—including a 7% operating increase with dedicated security technology funding—signals an active procurement window aligned to this initiative. Addressing endpoint consolidation now reduces operational risk, supports compliance, and leverages established cooperative procurement vehicles to streamline acquisition.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The university's credential and password management environment spans multiple overlapping and legacy tools, creating fragmentation that elevates institutional security risk. A budget-approved modernization initiative signals readiness to consolidate, but delayed action prolongs exposure and operational inefficiency across campus systems.
The opportunity
The FY2027 operating budget includes dedicated funding for security technology modernization, creating an active and time-aligned procurement window. Consolidating now reduces risk, supports compliance mandates for endpoint and identity management, and positions the institution for a more resilient and auditable security posture.
