hopefully 5 minutes, but id also like to know if we can realistically expect to hear results of this meeting tonight
Probably not.
Executive session meetings are entirely closed from the public.
This is how it will happen:
Chairman: Call this special meeting of June 8, 2010 to Order. The secretary will take the roll.
(Roll is taken)
Regent: I move that we convene in executive session with our attorneys to discuss legal matters.
Chairman: A motion has been made that we convene in executive session to discuss legal matters. Is there a second?
Regent: Second.
Chairman: All in favor of convening executive session to discuss legal matters?
Regents: Aye.
Chairman: The Regents will now convene with their attorneys to discuss legal matters.
(Regents leave the room, go into another room, where attorneys, Mike Bohn, Dan Hawkins, etc. are waiting. Discuss what is going on. Discuss what PAC-10 is proposing. Regents decide to take action. All official "actions" (i.e. votes) must take place in public. So they will now come OUT of executive session)
Chairman: The Regents have now returned to council chambers.
Regent: I move that we end executive session.
(Second, Aye, etc.)
Regent: I move that we authorize the University's attorneys and athletic directors to follow through on the matters which were discussed in executive session.
(Second, Aye, etc.)
I would be VERY surprised if there is any DIRECT information coming out of tonight's meeting.
