Well don't split it then. Or is the word Institution followed by a slash there and you just want to get rid of that?
str = 'Institution/College Name';
slashLocation = strfind(str, '/');
newStr = str(slashLocation+1:end) % Gives 'College Name'

find_system does not split the subsystem names at blanks. It returns a cell array of strings, each with one name. The adjacent entries do not belong together.
It sounds to me as if you have a carriage return (or newline) in a subsystem name. Historically that was not permitted. If it is permitted now, then the carriage return (or newline) would be part of the name and so the name should not be merged onto one line.

It appears that under some conditions, spaces and newlines are now permitted; http://www.mathworks.com/help/simulink/ug/accessing-signal-logging-data.html#budgyrh . However, they would still be part of the name. It would be valid to have a signal named 'College Name' (with a space) and a signal named ['College' char(10) 'Name'] (with a newline) in the same block, so putting them on the same line would be misrepresenting the name.

>> old = sprintf('Institution/College\nName')
old = Institution/College
Name
>> new = regexp(regexprep(old,'\s+',' '),'/','split');
>> new{:}
ans = Institution
ans = College Name
