Dean Jones says:

"The reason I asked you to teach three summer sessions is because we have a heavy student demand for our courses and by offering some courses in the summer, we can alleviate some of that enrollment pressure.

However, it probably is NOT necessary to offer THREE summer sessions.  Two will probably suffice, IF you agree to have higher enrollment caps during those two summer sessions.    

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

**$1,000 for software to analyze data

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

**A nine-month salary at the 55th 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."

Your response:

1.  I accept your generous offer.

2.  I will accept, IF you raise the salary to the 95th percentile.
