As Georgia merges eight public colleges into four, leaders struggle with the sensitive issue of what to name the new schools.

Georgia Health Sciences and Augusta State universities want to know what people think about six potential names for the institution that will be created when they consolidate.

People have until June 22 to select their top three at http://asughsu.org/naming-survey-june.
