In Savannah, where Armstrong has an 82-year history, the development is contentious, especially since the Board of Regents voted to combine the two schools with virtually no opportunity for input from students, employees, alumni or the community at large. The move was mandated by the University System of Georgia’s Board of Regents in January. Armstrong, in Savannah, has about 7,000 students, and Georgia Southern, in Statesboro, has about 20,000. The schools will consolidate next year as a multi-campus institution that keeps Georgia Southern’s name and president. The board charged with governing higher education in Georgia has approved a mission statement for a combined Armstrong State-Georgia Southern University.
