According to an anonymous reader:
I've just been told that when Bernie was negotiating his new contract he asked for, but was denied, two things that reflect his greed and insensitivity. He wanted to have:
a) a salary for his wife, as "first lady"
b) a housing allowance.
Given how little Chris Machen appears to do for the University, asking for payment seems ballsy. But the housing allowance is amazing. Here's a man who was given a house, threatened to move out, agreed to say, then moved out. He HAS a housing allowance. Why does he think he deserves another one?
According to a search on the University of Florida website, Chris Machen is involved in several committees on campus. Does this deserve a salary? I'm not certain.
Anonymous, how can we find out if this request for a raise is true? Please help!
