3 news items from today's STRS Board Meeting

From John Curry, December 11, 2008

1. Allen County's Paul Boyer was given an honorary [memorial] presentation.

2. A new Governor's appointment to the STRS Board was seated today at the Board. She is Regina Burch - Associate Professor of Law at Capitol University.

3. STRS associates were given a paid holiday for the Friday after this recent Thanksgiving. The banks were open, and so was Wall Street on that day but...apparently not STRS! This holiday was over, above, and beyond the Board approved 10 paid holidays.........this additional day was NOT board approved.

We are in difficult financial times, aren't we?
