Tom Mooney to Molly Janczyk: OFT endorsements for next STRS Board election

From Tom Mooney
December 12, 2005

Molly,

OFT has endorsed John Brackett, a professor at the U. of Cincinnati, and past president of the UC Chapter of AAUP. I have known John for many years. he is a person of the utmost integrity, an accomplished scholar and proven leader. I think he is a truly outstanding candidate. John was also endorsed Saturday by the AAUP State Conference.

Our second candidate is Mark Frederick, a Cleveland teacher who ran last year without OFT endorsement (We did not know he was interested until we had committed to three others). In his campaign, Mark demonstrated a lot of energy and passion for addressing the challenges facing STRS. He is a career teacher and a very independent guy. I am confident will make a good board member.

Please pass this on to John and Dennis. I don't seem to have their email addresses.

I will also forward resumes for John and Mark.

All the best,
Tom
