    His contract was extended and a raise was offered but he asked that the money be used to pay his staff more and invest in his program and other programs.

    Said he and his wife have plenty of money, just wants to stay at UVA which he loves and see the programs grow.

    Pretty unusual in today's world to say the least.

    Man, wish that enlightened stance had happened ten years ago.
