Introduction
The University of Arizona (UA) allocates resources using Responsibility Centered Management
(RCM). The College of Agriculture & Life Sciences (CALS) strives to balance the metrics of RCM
with our shared mission and vision.
Mission is more important than money. RCM is simply a tool to achieve our mission. Unit
Heads will better lead by focusing their efforts on growing our mission.
Teach more. Perform more sponsored research. Engage in more Extension activities. Reduce
costs. Deliver on goals. Strive to achieve for our shared mission.
Purpose & Goal
The CALS Budget & Operating Performance Guide is utilized to assist in measuring the Return on
Investment (ROI) for each unit within CALS in the context of RCM.
The goal for this document is to provide transparency and understanding for units to enable and
empower meaningful discussion.
Considerations
This document will be continually revised to better attain this goal and provide current figures. It is
not for measuring or evaluating specific faculty or program performance. The figures in this
document are derived from RCM calculations. The figures in this document are limited to
Teaching & Research. Cooperative Extension is outside RCM and performance metrics are not
included in this guide.
Questions
Should questions or concerns arise, be sure to direct them to Jeff Ratje, the Associate Dean for
Finance & Administration, and the CALS Data Solutions Team. We welcome your feedback.

Instruction Performance
The Instruction component is comprised of metrics on both investments and returns.
Returns are defined as revenues to the College.
The instruction component places the metrics on axes where one axis is the return (revenue) to
CALS and the other is the investment. Investments are defined as budgets allocated to units from
CALS and costs to CALS due to activities from units.
Instruction returns are based upon Majors and Student Credit Hours (SCH). Calculating a
dollar amount per major or SCH provides an idea of how much money is generated to the University
by colleges and units. The actual amount of money allocated to the College is less than what is
reflected in this document due to taxes and other factors.
Academic Units in CALS should focus on primary metrics and proportional performance, not
on the dollar amounts. Dollars are used solely to merge financial and academic data. The primary
metrics for the returns on the Instruction side in RCM are: 1) the number of SCH, 2) the number of
majors, and subsequently 3) the number of students.
Performance with Student Credit Hours (SCH) and Majors
Instruction figures are limited to Fall and Spring terms.
Undergraduate SCH is tied to units by the owner of the position of the instructor teaching a
course. Arrangements for exceptions can be made but need significant reasons to do so and must
be formally discussed with appropriate College Deans and Unit Heads.
Graduate SCH is calculated per student per term per major, based on net tuition and units taken.
For the sake of simplicity in this presentation, we are generalizing this to $/SCH, where the number
of Graduate SCH is calculated the same as Undergraduate SCH. This results in figures for Graduate
revenue that differ from the actual RCM Model but not proportionally at the unit level (viz., the
ratios between units remain the same).
Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs (GIDPs) performance is based solely on SCH.
Majors can count as two per year per student: enrolled major in Spring and enrolled major in Fall.
Dual majors and split programs are equally divided.



Agriculture & Biosystems Engineering majors are split with the College of Engineering.
Geographic Information Systems certificate is split with the College of Science.
Agricultural Education’s teaching emphasis majors are split with respective colleges.
Finalized figures are from a Fiscal Year-End snapshot.
Projected figures are a combination of a Fall Term-End snapshot and a Spring Census snapshot.

Performance with Instruction Investments & Returns
Instruction Returns are based upon revenue generated from SCH and Majors, not the number of
students.
Finalized revenues are derived from a snapshot at the end of the Fiscal Year.
Projected revenues are derived from a Fall Term-End snapshot and a Spring Term Census
snapshot.
Fiscal Year 2016 is a projection.

Research Performance
The Research component is comprised of metrics on both investments and returns. Returns
are defined as revenues to the College. Investments are defined as budgets allocated to units from
CALS and costs to CALS due to activities from units.
Research returns are based upon Facilities & Administrative (F&A) returns or Modified
Total Direct Costs (MTDC). The actual amount of money allocated to the College is less than what
is reflected in this document due to taxes and other factors.

Combined Instruction and Research Performance
A more comprehensive view of your performance combines instruction and research measures.
The University normalizes colleges based on a national study on the cost of doing business in
respective academic disciplines associated with units (known as the Delaware Cost Study). This
normalization is applied based on natural costs using one of three factors: 1.2, 1.0, and 0.8. As an
example, physical and lab sciences require costlier equipment and startup packages than
humanities, so they would be assigned a higher factor. CALS has been assigned a 1.0 due to the
diversity of disciplines in the college.
The combined view of unit performance includes a normalization factor assigned to each individual
unit similarly based on the Delaware Cost Study. This is used to better measure proportional
performance. So, the Proportional returns include the normalization factor while the Total Return
views exclude it.

The AES splits were determined by using a survey to the AES Unit Heads for work occurring in FY
2016. They based the splits upon the research activities of faculty members and Farm Service
Agreements for each site. The survey was modeled after one used to compile data for the USDANIFA Financial Summary.
