Dean Jones says:

Sorry, but university policy prohibits having "graduate student graders."

HOWEVER, we could provide you with a graduate research assistant (RA) to facilitate your research projects. 

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

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

**One graduate research assistant for one year.

**$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.

Your response:

1.  I accept your generous offer.

2.  That still doesn't meet my needs.
