In the process of merging Armstrong State University into Georgia Southern University, a proposal from a working group to create eight subject-area colleges, splitting the current College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences in two, hit a snag. More than 100 faculty members and a few staff members, all from the college known as CLASS, signed a petition against the proposal. When most of the 41-member Consolidation Implementation Committee met Wednesday afternoon in the Military Science Building on the Statesboro campus, Georgia Southern University President Jaimie Hebert, PhD, announced that the item, originally first on the agenda, was being moved to later.
