Side Note: Thank you for all the entries to the "Guess the score" contest. We will take entries right up to 7:30 on Saturday night.
A good negotiation ends where both parties give a little and neither side feels like they won. In the business world, these happen a thousand times a day. I have no idea what Warde Manuel's experience is in negotiation but I suggest he take a class at Michigan's Business School or MBA program.
Warde has done a nice job as Michigan's AD so far, he is quiet and stays out of the headlines.
