"No.  I'm not going to go higher than the 71st percentile.  However, I will raise your software allocation by $105.  That comes from a different part of the budget.

Here is the contract package I'd like to offer you:

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

**$1,105 for software to analyze data

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

**A nine-month salary at the 71st percentile

**Required to teach one summer session with higher-than-normal enrollment caps; that summer class does not count toward your regular (academic-year) teaching load

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

Your reaction:

1. I accept.

2. I do not accept those terms.
