in praise of DePaul University

DePaul always did seem like a happy, positive, fair-minded institution as a whole (barring occasional abuses and occasional psychopaths), but this one takes the cake for positivity.

After finishing my Ph.D. in 1999, DePaul gave me a one-year faculty position in 1999-2000, just before I came to Egypt.

And now… DePaul has sent a letter saying they’ve decided they cheated me on some benefits inadvertantly, and are sending me a check for $3,000.

FROM TEN YEARS AGO!!!!!

My reaction is: “Classy move, DePaul. You could have swept that under the rug and I never would have guessed.”
