I'm surprised to see that they expect me to buy a computer with the startup, especially since I heard from folks in both departments that they got their computers from a separate fund... How do you think I should address this? Especially since in theory negotiations
are over... Here's what I'm thinking:</div>

Thank you so much for sending me this contract. I have a couple clarifications after reading the specifics.</div>

Since customarily primary work computers are not included in startup costs and I had been told by a few faculty from within the PSU departments that the cost of an initial computer comes from a separate fund from the startup, the amount that I asked for for
the startup did not take into account the cost of a computer. Is there room for adjustment to account for this difference, perhaps either by raising the startup to $20,000 or allowing for the cost of my initial computer to come from the separate fund mentioned
in the contract?</div>

And lastly, seeing the benefits is great and helpful, but I can't seem to find information on the amount of the healthcare premium covered by the university vs. employee. Do you have this information or could you direct me to somewhere where I can find it? </div>
