Evidently, the interviewee was referring to the "The Public Policy Initiative" of "The Wikipedia Trust". Apparently, a few political science professors have agreed to let their students contribute to WP public policy related articles as a part of their coursework. What the professors and their departments are hoping to get out of the deal, I don't know.
