Dean Jones says:
"Frankly, I've gone about as high as I am prepared to go on the salary. I suppose I could bump up your salary a little bit more IF you agree to recruit high school seniors to our university. That will take about ten hours over the summer time -- it will mostly be done remotely (video calls), working with the Admissions office. We are quite eager to attract the best and the brightest students to our campus! If you do that, then I'll raise your salary to the 74th percentile.
Here is my proposal:
**ONE guaranteed trip to a conference each year for two years. At each conference you will agree to recruit and interview (professor) 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 attend our university.
**$1,000 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; in return you promise to develop an plan for an Executive Education program. The written plan is due one year from today.
**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.
What do you think?"
Your response:
1. I agree to your generous offer.
