Introduction
The University of Arizona (UA) operates using Responsibility Centered Management (RCM), and the
College of Agriculture & Life Sciences (CALS) strives to balance the metrics of RCM with our mission
and vision. The CALS RCM Tool is utilized to assist in measuring the Return on Investment (ROI)
for each department within CALS in the context of RCM.
The goal for this document is to provide transparency and understanding of the Tool for
departments and units to enable and empower meaningful discussion. This document will be
continually revised to better attain this goal and provide current figures. The Tool is not for
measuring or evaluating faculty or program performance. The figures in this document are based
on RCM calculations but will not match 1:1 with the actual RCM Model.
Should questions or concerns arise, be sure to direct them to Jeff Ratje, the Assistant Dean for
Finance & Administration, and the CALS Data Solutions Team. We welcome your feedback.
Focus on Our Shared Mission
Mission is more important than money. RCM is simply a tool to help achieve the goals for 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, and strive to achieve for our shared mission.

Instruction Performance
The Instruction component of the Tool is comprised of metrics on both investments and
returns. Returns are defined as revenues to the College. Investments are defined as budgets
allocated to departments from CALS and costs to CALS due to activities from departments.
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 being generated to the
University and tied to colleges and departments. The actual amount of money allocated to the
College is less than what is reflected in this document due to taxes and other factors.
Departments 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)
SCH, at the undergraduate level, is tied back to departments 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.
SCH, at the graduate level, 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
department level (viz., the ratios between departments remain the same).
Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs (GIDPs) are rolled into their respective departments for
display purposes but are utilizing the appropriate calculation which is solely based on SCH.

Performance with Enrollment and Majors
The figures used for enrollment trends are based upon the count of students with splits as of the
Census date. Dual majors are counted as they are: two majors. Split programs are equally divided.

Performance with Instruction Investments & Returns
Instruction Returns are based upon revenue generated from SCH and Majors, not the number of
students. Further, the returns are derived from a snapshot at the end of the term. This is done to
help properly merge academic and financial data.
Academic metrics are still based upon the Census date snapshot and the number of students, as
displayed in the previous sections.

Research Performance
The Research component of the Tool is comprised of metrics on both investments and
returns. Returns are defined as revenues to the College. Investments are defined as budgets
allocated to departments from CALS and costs to CALS due to activities from departments.
Research returns are based upon Facilities & Administrative Recovery Allocations or
Modified Total Direct Costs. 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 more costly 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 department performance includes a normalization factor assigned to each
individual department similarly based on the Delaware Cost Study. This is used to better measure
proportional performance. So, the Proportional Return views include the normalization factor
while the Total Return views exclude it.
