judicial punishments involving
midshipmen attending the Naval
Academy to include but not limited to,
individual honor or conduct violations
within the Brigade, the disclosure of
which would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy. For this reason, the executive
session of this meeting will be closed to
the public, as the discussion of such
information cannot be adequately
segregated from other topics, which
precludes opening the executive session
of this meeting to the public.
Accordingly, the (Acting) Secretary of
the Navy, in consultation with the
Department of the Navy General
Counsel, has determined in writing that
the meeting shall be partially closed to
the public because the discussions
during the executive session from 11
a.m. to noon (12 p.m.) will be concerned
with matters protected under sections
552b(c) (5), (6), and (7) of title 5, United

expected health directives in light of
COVID–19, the public cannot be
accommodated to attend the meeting in

Written Statements: Per Section
10(a)(3) of the FACA and 41 CFR 102–

persons may submit a written statement
for consideration at any time, but
should be received by the Designated
Federal Officer a least 15 business days
prior to the meeting date so that the
comments may be made available to the
Board for their consideration prior to
the meeting. Written statements should
be submitted via mail to 121 Blake Rd,
Annapolis MD 21402. Please note that
since the Board operates under the

Dear Chancellor Milliken:
Section 117 of the Higher Education
Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1011f) requires
institutions of higher education (IHEs),
including the University of Texas
System (UT), to fully report statutorily
defined gifts, contracts, and/or restricted
and conditional gifts or contracts from

Department of Education (Department).
These reports are posted at https://

According to UT’s Medical Branch

operation of the Galveston National

Institute for Human Infections and
Immunity. GNL, in turn, has substantial
contractual relations with a maximum
