U.S. Air Force Academy Board of Visitors Notice of Meeting
AGENCY: U.S. Air Force Academy Board of Visitors, DoD.
ACTION: Meeting notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 9355, Title 10, United States Code
(U.S.C.), the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) Board of Visitors
(BoV) will meet in Harmon Hall, 2304 Cadet Drive, Suite 3300, at USAFA
in Colorado Springs, CO, on 4-5 February 2011. The meeting will begin
on Friday, 4 February at 1330 p.m. and continue the next day, 5
February at 0710 a.m. The purpose of this meeting is to review morale
and discipline, social climate, curriculum, instruction,
infrastructure, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and other matters
relating to the Academy. Specific topics for this meeting include
updates on select USAFA metrics; an overview of the bi-annual Sexual
Assault and Gender Relations Report; an overview of the USAFA diversity
strategic plan; an overview of Don't Ask Don't Tell--the Way Ahead; and
an overview of the Association of Graduates and University Endowment.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended, and 41 CFR 102-3.155, the
Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force has
determined that a portion of this meeting shall be closed to the
public. The Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force,
in consultation with the Office of the Air Force General Counsel, has
determined in writing that the public interest requires two portions of
this meeting be closed to the public because it will involve matters
covered by subsection (c)(6) of 5 U.S.C. 552b. The Character update/
Status of discipline will discuss protected information on individual
cases. Likewise, the focus groups will require cadets to share personal
information, opinions and experiences concerning their superiors,
peers, and the Academy. Closure of these portions of the meeting is
appropriate under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) to protect the privacy of low
level ``employees.''
Public attendance at the open portions of this USAFA BoV meeting
shall be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis up to the
reasonable and safe capacity of the meeting room. In addition, any
member of the public wishing to provide input to the USAFA BoV should
submit a written statement in accordance with 41 CFR 102-3.140(c) and
section 10(a)(3) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and the
procedures described in this paragraph. Written statements must address
the following details: The issue, discussion, and a recommended course
of action. Supporting documentation may also be included as needed to
establish the appropriate historical context and provide any necessary
background information. Written statements can be submitted to the
Designated Federal Officer (DFO) at the Air Force Pentagon address
detailed below at any time. However, if a written statement is not
received at least 10 days before the first day of the meeting which is
the subject of this notice, then it may not be provided to, or
considered by, the BoV until its next open meeting. The DFO will review
all timely submissions with the BoV Chairperson and ensure they are
provided to members of the BoV before the meeting that is the subject
of this notice. For the benefit of the public, rosters that list the
names of BoV members and any releasable materials presented during open
portions of this BoV meeting shall be made available upon request.
If, after review of timely submitted written comments, the BoV
Chairperson and DFO deem appropriate, they may choose to invite the
submitter of the written comments to orally present their issue during
an open portion of the BoV meeting that is the subject of this notice.
Members of the BoV may also petition the Chairperson to allow specific
persons to make oral presentations
[[Page 3618]]

the BoV shall be in accordance with agency guidelines provided pursuant
to a written invitation and this paragraph. Direct questioning of BoV
members or meeting participants by the public is not permitted except
