The University System of Georgia Board of Regents granted final approval to the creation of the new Kennesaw State University from the consolidation of Kennesaw State University and Southern Polytechnic State University.
Dan Papp, current president of KSU, will serve as president of the newly consolidated Kennesaw State.
The board’s action followed the December 2014 required approval by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges of the KSU consolidation plans.
