Adelphi, Md. (Sept. 16, 2016) -- The University System of Maryland (USM) Board of Regents Committee on Education Policy and Student Life at its next meeting will vote on new academic program proposals and hear several information reports, including an accreditation update on Frostburg State University and a report on intercollegiate athletics.

The Board of Regents Policy on Intercollegiate Athletics (V-2.10) requires institutions to submit reports to inform the board of the academic and financial status of the athletic programs.

The committee will vote publicly on whether to reconvene in closed session to discuss items that fall under closing guidelines of the Open Meetings Act.
