Rebecca Kolins Givan, in a [*Chronicle* commentary](https://www.chronicle.com/article/Will-the-University-That/248902):
> If our core values are sacrificed to save our universities through a single-minded focus on maximizing revenue, will the institutions that emerge have been worth saving?
Kolins Givan [takes aim](https://www.chronicle.com/article/Will-the-University-That/248902) at responsibility-centered management (RCM):
> RCM is, then, a system of values that prioritizes infighting and manufactured scarcity to extract an additional buck more than collaboration and a commitment to mutually beneficial decision-making that puts lives and learning first. Under that “eat what you kill” model, units (“responsibility centers”) compete with one another — it’s a cutthroat game of zero sum. One more student in an Arabic class means one less student in a math course, and the two departments are required to treat each other as mortal enemies. Courses taught at less than full capacity are categorized as wasteful, rather than essential elements of a robust, diverse curriculum.
