Hi All,
Hopefully you can give me some advice. Last August, I signed a 9 month college teaching contract, professor at a university. The contract stipulated clearly my term from Aug 19-May 19, as well as percentage of salary per semester. As well, they included a start up package of $2500 to purchase a laptop and printer. The school purchased these items for me and I have been using them ever since, without a mention when I received them that they were to be returned. Now that my contract is up, they are requesting the laptop and printer back, but nowhere in my contract does it say that the start-up package is a loan to be returned. I signed the contract back in August with the knowledge this start-up package was a part of my salary. I'm not sure how to proceed with it.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks!
