Dean Jones says:

I'm glad you see things my way.  Here is the new contract package we have agreed upon:

**ONE guaranteed trip to a conference each year for two years

**$1,200 for software to analyze data

**$12,000 for hardware (i.e., special computer processor and other equipment)

**A nine-month salary at the 64th percentile

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

**Three-day a week teaching schedule."

Critique:

This was a pretty good deal for you.  You got an above average salary and you increased your hardware and software allowances above what was initially offered.  However, you still have a high teaching load, which may cut into your research productivity.

Try again to see if you can get a better deal.
