Disappointingly, that will never happen for me. I just cannot find it in myself to give it praise in any consistent and continual way. Comparing UWF with my fantastic grad school experience elsewhere is so night and day different. Diaz makes me even more leery of it.

Diaz makes me even more leery of it.

Since that doesn't provide enough motivation, he also qualifies for another $525,000 in retention bonuses spread out over five years. Manny’s compensation is egregious at $946,040 annually.
