Dear John,

Public-private partnerships (P3s) can be a controversial topic in higher education, but the sheer number of multi-million dollar deals over the past several years illustrates their meteoric rise. In 2014, the University System of Georgia worked out a $517-million deal with Corvias to build student housing. The University of Kentucky added 6,850 beds in a $459-million, 75-year deal with EdR, which built and manages the housing units. And San Diego State University is currently working on $3-billion plan to redevelop an old football stadium into a new campus, most likely involving a P3.

Get an all-in-one primer on P3s with The Chronicle's issue brief, The Outsourced University: How Public-Private Partnerships Can Benefit Your Campus. These arrangements may not be for every college, but without the proper context and strategies in place, your institution could be missing its chance to promote growth and efficiency — and expose itself to considerable risk.

Get your copy and learn how to:

• Assess the need for a P3 arrangement on your campus
• Evaluate the campus-services opportunities for a P3
• Research and select partners for your project needs
• Model your partnership on institutions who have successfully implemented these arrangements

Ensure you're prepared to join the outsourcing conversation as it continues to grow in popularity.

Sincerely,

Erin Gajarsa
