Dean Jones says:
You make reasonable request. I will increase your software and hardware allocations by $300 each. I will also reduce the amount you must teach during the summer.
I will assume that this is all agreeable to you...
Here is the new contract package:
***Represent our college at two different civic and/or religious organizations of your choice during the upcoming school year.
**ONE guaranteed trip to a conference each year for two years
**$1,300 for software to analyze data
**$10,300 for hardware (i.e., special computer processor and other equipment)
**A nine-month salary at the 80th percentile
**Required to teach ONE summer session, it will not count toward your teaching load during the regular academic year.
**Three-day a week teaching schedule with extra-large classes.
**You will list our university as your "co-affiliation" on your current projects and list our university as your sole affiliation on projects that you start here.
Welcome to our university!"
Critique:
You did well on salary and you got a reduction in teaching.
REFLECT: How did you arrive at those outcomes?
You may want to play again to see if you can get an even better deal.
