Abstract
As demand for Internet resources explodes on campus, faculty and students increasingly want network access from off-campus locations. Soaring demand has led numerous colleges and universities to investigate outsourcing. This article offers a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing remote access, including a sample checklist for an RFP, based on the examination of the RFPs for outsourcing remote access of six universities and a follow-up survey to determine their outcomes.
