The board's Tuesday meeting will be closed to the public. A University of Maryland statement says members will hash over decisions deemed necessary to safeguard the well-being of student-athletes at College Park and other public universities in Maryland.

They expect to publicly issue findings from this second independent review about a week after their Oct. 23 session.
