LEXINGTON, Ky.—After studying the situation for more than a year, UK officials are ready to move ahead with a plan to privatize on campus dining services.

University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto Friday said contract negotiations are beginning with Aramark to create a “public-private partnership for dining that has the potential to transform this vital service for our students and the larger community we serve.”
