The third component of the CFI is the Return on Net Assets ratio. This ratio indicates whether the institution's total assets, restricted and unrestricted, are increasing or decreasing. The threshold for this measure is approximately 3% above the inflation rate. Stress on KSU's revenue base and ongoing operations as well as costs related to growing enrollment and improving academic quality, have led to subpar performance in this indicator. KSU is expected to approach a measure of 1% on this ratio by 2021 with current projections.
