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!

It's being looked into.
Meanwhile, if anyone has specific information, please post it here. You can do so anonymously, in case you are concerned about vindictiveness...
Why is Bernie Machen lobbying for a Shands Cancer Center in Miami using public taxpayer funds. There is no effective Cancer Treatment Center in Gainesville!! Is he hired to represent UF or Shands?? Shands is a Not for profit Org. Thank God he was turned down.
RE: May 6 Funding and Job cuts
Good old Bernie, trying to escape any blame. He just did what the deans chose to do.
His biggest missed opportunity here was to re-shape the University through strategic cuts, rather than simply cutting evenly across the board. He said in the sun that all units were treated equally. But this is what he had previously vowed NOT to do.
A small mind misses an opportunity to improve the University through strategic cuts. Brilliant.
