Dean Jones says:

"I'm unwilling to raise your salary by so much, given that you are an 'unproven talent'...although winning a research award suggests that maybe you aren't such an 'unproven talent' after all...

(studies spreadsheet...)    

I will increase your nine-month salary to the 66th percentile. 

Software comes from a different part of the budget than salaries.  I'll agree to give you an extra $165 for software.

Here is the new contract package I'd like to offer you:

**ONE graduate assistant for TWO years.

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

**$1,165 for software to analyze data

**$10,222 for hardware (i.e., special computer processor and other equipment)

**A nine-month salary at the 66th percentile

**Required to teach TWO summer sessions (each with high enrollment caps), neither of which count toward your teaching load

**Three-day a week teaching schedule for Fall semester; two-days-per week for the following Spring semester.

I think we have an agreement.  Welcome to our university!"

Critique: 

This was a good deal for you.  REFLECT:  Why was this so?  Why was the Dean willing to raise your salary from the 55th percentile to the 66th percentile?   You may wish to play again to see if you can get an even better agreement!
