Dean Jones says:

"Well, I don't think I can budget even $4,000 for software.  However, the university has a separate, competitive, "Technology Fund."  I can go up to $2,500 IF you agree to apply to that Technology Fund for funding for the other $2,500. Will that be sufficient?

Here is my revised proposal:  

**ONE guaranteed trip to a conference each year for two years.  At each  conference you will agree to recruit and interview job candidates for our college, if there is a need.

** You also agree to spend ten hours in the summer recruiting high school seniors to our university.

**$2,500 for software to analyze data

**$15,000 for hardware (i.e., special computer processor and other equipment)

**A nine-month salary at the 74th percentile

**One graduate research assistant for TWO calendar years

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

**You will serve on a summer task force to re-design the core curriculum in the college of business

**Five-day-a-week teaching schedule in Fall and Spring semesters."

Your response:

1.  Yes, I can agree to that idea...

2.  What is the probability that the university committee will approve my request?
