**President’s Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and**  **Universities**

**AGENCY :**  U.S. Department of Education, President’s Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and
Universities.

**ACTION :**  Notice of an Open Meeting.

**SUMMARY :**  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.
