Dean Jones says:

"Great!  We have an agreement!  Welcome to our University!"

Here is the new contract package we have agreed upon:

**ONE guaranteed trip to a conference each year for two years

**$1,000 for software to analyze data

**$10,000 for hardware (i.e., special computer processor and other equipment)

**A nine-month salary at the 75th percentile

**Required to teach three summer sessions, none of which count toward your teaching load

**Three-day a week teaching schedule."

Critique:

While getting your pay up to the 75th percentile was outstanding, the other aspects of your agreement were below average.  You probably should have negotiated more favorable terms for your teaching load and your equipment/software needs.  Perhaps you would like to try again to see if you can get a better deal.
