Dean Jones says:

"Good!  We have an agreement!  Here is the contract package:

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

**$1,000 for software to analyze data

**$15,000 for hardware (i.e., special computer processor and other equipment)

**A nine-month salary at the 55th percentile

**One graduate research assistant for THREE calendar years; in return, you agree to apply for external funding and you agree to list our university as your co-affiliation on any already-started projects.

**Required to teach Two summer sessions, none of which count toward your teaching load; each class will hold 70% more students as the normal summer session.

**Five-day a week teaching schedule.

Welcome to our University!"

Critique:

You got an above-average salary and a good allowance for hardware.  You also got one graduate student for three years.  However, your regular academic-year teaching schedule was not favorable and you only got $1,000 for software.  You may wish to try again to see if you can get a more favorable agreement.
