Dean Jones says:

"Great!  (he pauses, looking at a spreadsheet):  Because you have been so flexible on the travel, I think I can give you an extra $552 for software...AND to 'sweeten the deal,' I will adjust your regular teaching schedule down from five days a week to four days a week.  That will give you one day per week for writing up your research." 

So here is our agreement: 

**TWO guaranteed trips 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 will also get TWO additional guaranteed trips to present papers at academic conferences.

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

**$1,552 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

**Four-day-a-week teaching schedule.

Welcome to our university!"
