Board of Regents Approves Georgia Southern University, East Georgia State College Consolidation

The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (USG) voted today to consolidate East Georgia State College (EGSC) and Georgia Southern University. This action is the first step in a careful process that will take more than a year. Final board approval of the newly consolidated institution is expected to come after a vote by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). A consolidation timeline is dependent upon those approvals.

I interviewed at EGSC back in 2007 or 2008. Tiny school in a tiny town right next to Statesboro. I hope this will be a good move for both institutions.
