The 42 members of the Georgia Perimeter/Georgia State Consolidation Implementation Committee had their second meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 18, at the University System of Georgia offices. Topics of discussion included a consolidated mission statement, leadership responsibilities and an organizational structure to unite the two institutions.  

The group also reviewed the overall functional areas, from which committees will be created. The committees, along with sub-committees under them, are where most of the work of the consolidation process will take place.

The CIC also is addressing the 900-plus responsibilities identified on the USG’s Consolidation tracker and coming up with an expected timeline to complete tasks for the consolidation, which is expected to take place in 2016.

The next CIC meeting will be Thursday, Feb. 26. Come back to the GPC Newsroom for more updates. View story on GPC’s consolidation committee members.
