the improvement of postsecondary education and for the evaluation, 
dissemination, and adaptation of demonstrated improvements in 
postsecondary educational practice; and (2) the operation of the Fund, 
including advice on planning documents, guidelines, and procedures for 
grant competitions prepared by the Fund.
    On Monday, June 9, 2003, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and from 12 p.m. to 
3:30 p.m., the Board will meet in open session. The proposed agenda for
