PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Daniel Romain ? Another former student from Evanston Township High School  has accused a now-retired theater director of molesting  him  in the 1980s.
 Daniel Romain  who attended the school from 1981 to 1985   filed suit Tuesday against former drama director Bruce Siewerth.
 Romain  said in the suit that  he  was a âshyâ freshman when  he  participated in a school production of âHamlet.â  Romain  claims that while dressed in  his  costume  which included tights  Siewerth pointed toward  his  crotch  told  Romain  that  he  was âpointing the wrong way â and then âbarreled towards Romain  puts  his  hands down Romainâs tights  placed  his  hands upon Romainâs penis  and âre-arrangedâ him â the lawsuit states.
The suit also claims Siewerth engaged in other âinappropriateâ behavior with male students  such as requiring them to change into costume in front of  him   wrestling with them  spanking them on their birthdays and âhelping male students get ready â¦ by tucking in their shirt  which gave  him  an opportunity to touch or graze their buttocks or genitalia.â
The school gave Siewerth ânear total autonomy â the suit alleged  by providing the private theater and letting  him  take overnight trips with students to see plays in New York.
 Romain  could not be reached Wednesday.  His  mother  Adina Romain  said her son had not reported any abuse to her or her husband when he was in school  but informed her of his claims recently after discussing it with other students at a recent school reunion.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Quentin Clark ? Dropbox disclosed in a public filing last week that  Quentin Clark   its SVP of engineering  product  and design  was paid a total compensation worth $34.6 million in 2017. That includes a prorated base salary of $130 000  a one-time signing bonus of $340 000  and company stock worth $34.1 million  which will vest over five years.
 Clark 's pay package last year is impressive given how Dropbox has hired a number of high-profile executives over the years  including COO Dennis Woodside.  Clark  is relatively little known outside of engineering circles and has maintained a low-profile despite a long engineering career that spans more than two decades.
Prior to joining Dropbox   Clark  held the chief technology officer and chief business officer roles at SAP.
But  Clark  spent the majority of  his  career at Microsoft.  He  spent nearly 20 years in various engineering roles  including as a vice president in charge of the company's database products. In  his  LinkedIn profile   Clark  describes  his  work at Microsoft as having managed "the SQL Server product and the broader data platform work " including Business Intelligence  Big Data products and the cloud data platform work in Azure.
 Clark  also worked on WinFS  a Microsoft project in the early 2000s that aimed to replace the file system in Windows with a more database-like file system. It never shipped  and some insiders blamed it for contributing to the delays that plagued Windows Vista. Bill Gates  then chief software architect  once said on Reddit that not shipping it was his biggest regret among unrealized products.
