Dean Jones says:

"You are correct:  Software does come out of a different part of the budget.   OK.  I will agree to your request.   

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

**$1,400 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 three summer sessions, none of which count toward your teaching load

**Three-day a week teaching schedule.

We have an agreement.  Welcome to our university!"

Critique:

You got a lot of different things, many of which were valuable.  REFLECT on how you got those...what specific tactics did you employ? 

However, you did not get what is arguably your most important objective:  Free time!  Teaching three summer sessions could cripple your research program.  You may wish to try again to see if you can get a better deal.
