Dean Jones says:

"Well, lets think about this in terms of our mutual interests.  You have an interest in additional travel.  I have an interest in hiring more good faculty -- and I anticipate the creation of some additional faculty positions in the near future."

Therefore, this is the contract package I'd like to offer you:

 **TWO guaranteed trips to academic conferences each year for two years, IF you also agree to recruit and interview at least eight prospective applicants at those conferences (assuming that a vacancy exists at the time of your travel).

 **$1,000 for software to analyze data

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

**One graduate research assistant for one year

 **A nine-month salary at the 34th percentile

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

 **Three-days-a-week teaching schedule for Fall and two-days-a-week teaching schedule for the following Spring."

Your Response:

1.  It is good...I can certainly do that.

2.  Raise my salary to the 90th percentile and you've got yourself a deal!

3.  What other needs does the college have?  I like to be helpful...
