Daniels, 61, has been president of Johns Hopkins since 2009, continuing the institution’s 38-year streak of receiving more competitively allocated research funding than any other university in the country. During his 11 years at the helm, the Canadian-born law and economics scholar has received accolades for strengthening the school’s graduate programs, as well as his annual boosting of the school’s financial aid fund. For those accomplishments and others, records show Daniels has been richly rewarded — in July, he ranked as the 7th highest-paid private college president in the entire U.S., with a base salary that topped $2.7 million.
