Dean Jones says:

"I'm sorry.  It is not possible for graduate assistants to be 'graders'; there is a university rule against that.  So, barring any objections, I believe that we have an agreement.    

These are the terms:

**ONE graduate assistant for TWO years.

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

**$1,000 for software to analyze data

**$10,000 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."

Critique:

Do you feel this is a good agreement?  Why or why not?  What tactics did you employ to get this agreement?

You might want to try again to see if you can get a better deal.
