The press director at the University of Rochester Press is a university employee—I believe the press reports into the provost's office, and the editorial board is university-affiliated as well. The partnership with Boydell & Brewer is substantive (though I'd absolutely have to defer to UofR for the details!), but the press is very much identified with the university and its mission.

All best-

It sounds similar to the University of Rochester Press’s arrangement with Boydell and Brewer. It retains the university’s name, but is run by B&B employees.
