AUGUSTA, Ga. -
A committee has waded through more than a thousand recommendations and has chosen six suggestions for the new school that will be created by the consolidation of Augusta State and Georgia Health Sciences universities.
The Augusta Chronicle reports that the committee consulted with experts and did research to determine what elements should be considered in the new name.
The six suggestions are: Arsenal University, Augusta Arsenal University, Augusta University, Bartram University, Noble University, and University of Augusta.
After getting internal and external input, a task force is set to vote June 27 on three unranked finalists to submit to the University System of Georgia's Board of Regents, which could take up the matter at its August meeting.
