ACTION: Notice of an Open Meeting.
This notice sets forth the
schedule and agenda of the meeting of
the President’s Board of Advisors on
Historically Black Colleges and
Universities. The notice also describes
the functions of the Board. Notice of the
meeting is required by section 10(a)(2)
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
and intended to notify the public of its
opportunity to attend. This notice is
being published less than 15 days prior
to the meeting date due to the need to
obtain sponsors/supplemental funding
for the meeting during the annual HBCU
Conference scheduled for the same
week. Due to stringent budget
constraints, it is more feasible to have a
board meeting while the members are
already in Washington, DC for the
conference as opposed to having them
return at a later date and having the
board incur additional expenses.
DATES: Wednesday, September 25, 2013.
Time: 9:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. (EST).
