Spring Break
James McGill, the senior vice president for finance and administration for Johns Hopkins University, is listed as the fifth highest paid university chief financial officer in the country according to a report in the Chronicle for Higher Education. The report analyzed the largest salaries of university employees under the president from 2006 to 2007. During that time, the university paid McGill $610,340. McGill reports directly to outgoing university President Bill Brody. According a university web page, McGill oversees: budgets and financial planning and analysis, controller, facilities management , human resources, internal audits, purchasing, real estate, campus safety and security, and the treasurer. There were several instances of deferred compensation for CFOs on the list.
Former Hopkins provost Steven Knapp, who left to become president of George Washington University in August 2007, earned $571,777 for his work at Johns Hopkins. He ranked sixth in the “chief academic officers” category. Ron Daniels, the incoming Johns Hopkins president, received $604,637 at the University of Pennsylvania.
The Chornicle’s list on top ten highest paid CFOs and academic officers can be found after the jump.

It’s also interesting to note that Eugene Sunshine at Northwestern tops the CFO category at $1.2M. Sunshine was the top finance guy at JHU during the William Richardson/ Nathan Daniels administrations prior to Dr. Brody’s tenure as JHU President. (This was also while Michael Bloomberg was the Chairman of the Board of Trustees.)
