The four institutions will have new missions, academic programs and direction as they work to serve students. They are being formed through consolidation of North Georgia College and State 中出少妇视频 with Gainesville State College, Augusta State 中出少妇视频 with Georgia Health Sciences 中出少妇视频, Waycross College with South Georgia College, and Macon State College with Middle Georgia College.

The plan reduces the number of 中出少妇视频 institutions from 35 to 31.

Huckaby announced his consolidation plan in August of 2011 and the regents approved six principles for consolidation in November of that year.

At its January 2012 meeting the regents approved the recommendations to consolidate the eight institutions. Working groups on the campuses and at the system office then began the complex process of consolidation.

The regents approved new mission statements for the four new institutions and new names for two in May, with the approval of the final two names occurring in August.
