Dean Jones says:

"I will increase your travel to three trips per year, IF you agree to include some of your colleagues from our university in this research program.  I'm not asking you to add their names to your papers if they haven't actually done any work or writing.  However, if you develop common interests and can see your way to include a few of them in your projects, I will view that quite favorably.  

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

 **THREE guaranteed trips to conferences each year for two years

 **$1,400 for software to analyze data

 **$19,720 for hardware (i.e., special computer processor and other equipment)

**One graduate research assistant for three years

 **A nine-month salary at the 50th percentile

 **Required to teach one summer session, which does not count toward your regular, academic-year teaching load

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

**It is understood that all royalties and licensing fees resulting from any commercial by-products of the research will go to the college."

Your Response:

1.    It looks good...I will accept your kind and generous offer.

2.    Perhaps I could offer to drive my own car to one of the conferences, you know, to save money on travel expenses.  If I do that, do you think you could 'bump up' my salary?

3.    If the college is going to get royalties from this, then I think I should get additional compensation.  After all, if my estimates are correct, I think I can generate a lot of revenue for the university.  Don't you think it is only fair that I should share in that revenue?
