The college/department each take a percentage of every dollar that a professor raises to fund his/her research through grants. It ends up being a sizable amount of money, so there's incentive to hire and keep professors that bring in the most research money. There's no direct monetary incentive to hire and keep good teachers who care about undergraduates.
