In September 2011, then-Chancellor Hank Huckaby announced ongoing plans to look at USG's campuses to assess if any consolidations would benefit the University System. At its November 2011 meeting, the Board of Regents adopted six “Principles for Consolidation” that have since been used by University System staff to guide potential campus consolidations. Chancellor Huckaby recommended the initial four consolidations among eight USG institutions in January 2012. Additional consolidations have since been recommended and approved. The potential for additional consolidations remains an active policy.

This website is designed to help foster transparency in the process. In addition to general information about the consolidations, there are individual pages for each specific consolidation.
