The letter from the company was made public by a student's record request.
, has drawn ire of students and faculty at Georgia colleges who question if their schools’ decisions to reopen were financially driven.The correspondences from Corvias representatives reminded the schools of the legal implications of breaking their contracts, which establish decades-long agreements — called a public-private partnership, or P3 in trade jargon — that allow the private company to take on the public universities’ debt, renovate or build housing and lease it to students.
A representative for Corvias did not respond to requests for comment from The Post. The company’s Twitter was set to private as of Friday. “I didn’t take it as a threat or anything,” Tim Michael, Wayne State’s chief housing officer, told The Post. “There was no thought that whether housing buildings were going to be full or not would impact the form of instruction.”A spokesperson for the University System of Georgia told The Post and Inside Higher Ed that the decision to reopen was up to individual institutions.
“Those considerations, however, did not influence our planning — the health and safety of students was our priority,” Hale wrote in a statement. “Furthermore, in the end we did not implement the plan because attrition made it a moot point.”Students have increasingly opted for online classes or living off-campus as many colleges have offered accommodations to those who are concerned about campuses becoming breeding grounds for the highly infectious coronavirus.
