Dean Jones says:
"Sorry, but we already have a graduate student organization here -- and we don't need a faculty advisor for that organization. Frankly, we don't need a "social coordinator and planner" to help our new faculty feel welcome -- we already plan such events in the Dean's office; other 'welcome events' are found at the departmental level. It is not something that I feel I need to pay extra for. However, I will offer you one graduate research assistant for one year. I hope that will satisfy your needs.
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.
