"Well, I do admire your desire to change the world!  I too have a goal:  To incorporate more undergraduate students in research.  Do you think you would commit to supervising, say, two undergraduate research projects each year, over the next three years?  In return, I'll agree to fund TWO graduate research assistants, for THREE years.  How does that sound?   

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

**TWO graduate assistants for THREE YEARS; in return, you agree to supervise two undergraduate research projects each year over the next three years

**FOUR guaranteed trips to conferences 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 55th percentile

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

**Three-day a week teaching schedule."

Your response:

1.  Perfect!  I accept your generous offer!

2.  Great!  Can we next discuss my teaching schedule?

3.  Great!  Can we next discuss the software and hardware budget?
