Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Higher Education Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The university faces a hard April 2027 deadline to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards across digital course materials and web content, with active remediation already underway. Gaps in coverage create legal exposure and risk inequitable access for students with disabilities.
The opportunity
The April 2027 compliance deadline makes this an immediate planning priority within the current and upcoming fiscal cycles, with cooperative purchasing agreements in place to streamline procurement. Acting now reduces audit and litigation risk while advancing equitable digital access across the institution.

Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The university's preparedness score of 3 reflects critical gaps: no publicly posted EOP or COOP revision dates, absent after-action reports, and recent incidents involving fake emergency calls and texts that exposed weaknesses in mass notification and overall readiness.
The opportunity
Incoming leadership — including a new President, Chief of Police, and Director of Security — creates a timely window to remediate documented preparedness gaps. FEMA HSGP funding is available for emergency communications and alert systems, and acting now aligns with institutional risk management priorities before the next fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Campus Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The university's emergency notification infrastructure is fragmented, with no confirmed consolidated solution and unknown contract renewal timelines. Recent fake call and text incidents have exposed gaps in verified, campus-wide emergency communications, elevating safety and operational risk.
The opportunity
FEMA Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding offers a clear, near-term path to modernize alert and notification infrastructure with limited institutional outlay. Leadership transitions and an active mass notification modernization initiative signal strong internal alignment for advancing this project in the current planning cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The institution is mid-transition to an MFA/SSO platform and lacks a confirmed password management solution or endpoint management strategy. Recent cybersecurity incidents—including a learning management system-related event and fraudulent communications—signal active threat exposure and credential risk.
The opportunity
Recent incidents create strong, immediate timing signals for cybersecurity investment, and annual IT spend exceeding $1.3M reflects meaningful capacity. Cooperative purchasing agreements are confirmed, streamlining procurement and enabling action within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Campus Transportation
High Priority
About this project
The university operates a campus shuttle fleet and is actively planning fleet electrification, yet no telematics or dashcam systems are publicly in place to monitor driver behavior or support incident documentation. This gap exposes the institution to significant liability risk, as a single serious fleet accident could generate substantial financial and reputational consequences.
The opportunity
Active investment in shuttle modernization and electrification creates a natural entry point to close the telematics gap before liability exposure grows. COPS TEP and BRIC grant programs offer potential funding pathways for related equipment, and aligning procurement now supports both capital planning and risk mitigation goals.
