Dean Jones says:

"Good!  We have an agreement!

Here is the contract package we have agreed upon:

**THREE guaranteed trips to a conference each year for two years

**$2,000 for software to analyze data

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

**A nine-month salary at the 25th percentile

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

**Three-day-a-week teaching schedule."

Critique:

Although you got three conference trips, and you got a generous software and hardware allowance, your salary is well below normal.

Perhaps you should try again to see if you can get a better deal.
