Karl Peace, Ph.D., endower of the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health at Georgia Southern University and one of the university’s largest donors, is removing the university from his will over the move of the college’s headquarters – and as he interprets it, the college – to Savannah. In the merger of Georgia Southern and Armstrong State University slated to take effect in January, the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health is one of three constituent colleges of “the new Georgia Southern” that will be headquartered at the Armstrong campus in Savannah. The other five colleges will be based on the Statesboro campus.
