In Texas (and Florida?) they are already measuring professors' "value" by adding the research grants brought in and the combined tuition of the students in that professor's classes, and then subtracting the salary. If you bring in a lot of grants and/or teach a lot of students, you're a "profit center." If you don't bring in grants and teach small classes, you're a "cost center." Out you go? Well, not yet, but it is coming.
