Dean Jones says:

"Good!  We have a deal!  Welcome to our university!

Here is the new contract package we agreed upon:

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

**$1,177 for software to analyze data

**$10,000 for hardware (i.e., special computer processor and other equipment)

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

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

**Three-day a week teaching schedule for Fall Semester.  The following Spring Semester you will teach only two days per week."

Critique:

You got a fine contract in terms of travel and salary. 

REFLECT:  How did you get those terms?  What tactics did you employ?

Your teaching load in the summer is probably excessive; it will 'cut into' your time for writing.  Also, your hardware budget did not 'budge' (pun intended) from what the Dean initially offered.

You may wish to try again to see if you can get a better deal.
