Wednesday's meeting is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. with public comment, followed by open session. Wednesday discussion items include undergraduate eligibility and admissions as well as the "One Thousand Teachers, One Million Minds" initiative to increase the number and quality of science and math teachers in California's K-12 classrooms (www.universityofcalifornia.edu/academics/1000teachers).
