Ken Jeong actually retweeted a fan who said he 'joined the group' today. Also if the point about this page being just about them as a 'study group' then it should end at Season 4. The study group/Save Greendale Committee are just plot contrivances to put the characters together, it's all the same thing. I know it pains people to see Pierce and Troy gone, but they're gone and they're trying to replace them to keep the show going.
Other than Cooperative Polygraphy, and part of Repiloting, the original members of The Study Group haven't been together unless it was the Committee which seems to include Chang and Duncan (which I like). I think the Save Greendale Committee needs its own page and the Season Five section of The Study Group should have a subsection for The Save Greendale Committee. There still might be Study Group activity that isn't Committee related; the season's not quite half over.
The description for the next episode says that Jeff helps Duncan gets a date with Britta and that Abed bumps into Hickey on his way to the movies. The study group or whatever it was is incorporating different people in now.
Well, just because they're interacting with different people doesn't mean those people are now in the group. That said, there may not be a group anymore. Are they evolving beyond dependence on a group? There seems to be a deliberate attempt this season to leave behind some of the things that have been a part of the show and change things up. And they had to figure out what to do without Pierce or Troy. It's hard to be objective in the middle of it. That's why I think we won't really know until the season is done.
I have to agree with Quarn and take a wait and see approach. Personally I think the Study Group is and always will be just the original seven members. The group joined the committee, the committee and it's members didn't join them. Much in the same way Troy and Abed were a separate "group" while within the study group, I believe the study group will always be a group unto themselves within the committee.
I just made the Save Greendale Committee page.... tell me what you think.

I kind if wish you had waited until the Season was over before doing that, if you read these posts we had all agreed to wait. Also the article is basically 98% cut and pasted from The Study Group page, there has to be more original content.
I'm sorry, I didn't even discover this forum until after I created the page. If you could help with the editing, that would be great.
