However, nothing prevents the trustees from naming Nunez “interim” president and then beginning a search with the expectation that when it was over the “interim” tag would be removed. She is expected to make more than $1 million a year at FIU, compared to the $135K as LG.

@fineout While it is true that Gary has never been me, I did go by the name Gary Fineout for most of 2015 while traveling across Central America - running up ridiculous bar tabs in Costa Rica and marrying a woman in Belize. I often wonder how Mrs Fineout and Garycito are doing.
