Campus Emergency Preparedness Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Campus Safety
High Priority
About this project
The college's Emergency Preparedness Plan has been archived, the campus alert system's operational status is unconfirmed, and no documented drills or audits are on record. A Tennessee Board of Regents policy compliance deadline of March 2026 creates significant liability, safety, and regulatory risk for students, staff, and the institution.
The opportunity
Incoming leadership and increased technology funding — including a dedicated technology access fee and capital investment in campus infrastructure — signal strong institutional readiness to act. Addressing this before the March 2026 mandate protects the campus community, reduces liability exposure, and aligns with the current budget and planning cycle.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
While foundational tools are in place, gaps in credential management and overall security posture create ongoing compliance and operational risk. Active cybersecurity mandates around password and authentication policies require a more mature, institution-wide identity access management approach.
The opportunity
IT modernization and a Technology Building replacement are active, funded strategic priorities, creating a natural window to address identity security gaps. Incoming leadership and increased technology access fees signal institutional readiness to advance security posture and meet ongoing compliance mandates this fiscal cycle.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The college faces a federal mandate to meet ADA/WCAG 2.2AA web accessibility standards by April 26, 2027. Without a formalized project plan and dedicated budget, compliance gaps risk legal exposure and inequitable access to digital services for students and staff.
The opportunity
With the April 2027 deadline approaching, acting now allows time for phased remediation within existing budget cycles, including technology access fee funding already designated for campus upgrades. Incoming leadership presents a timely opening to formalize and fund this initiative before the compliance window narrows.
Campus Technology Building Renovation and IT Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Higher Education Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
A capital outlay recommendation and a dedicated technology access fee signal institutional commitment to replacing or renovating the campus Technology Building. This modernization effort is a strategic anchor for broader IT infrastructure improvements, including cybersecurity posture and operational continuity for students and staff.
The opportunity
Formal capital budget recommendations and an established technology fee create near-term funding availability aligned with the current fiscal planning cycle. Incoming leadership presents a timely window to accelerate infrastructure decisions that strengthen compliance readiness and long-term campus operational resilience.
