 Furthermore, Daniels has created a PhD innovation fund, as well as a movement to collect and analyze data on PhD program performance.In a US News article, Daniels stated that Johns Hopkins would “open [their] doors not to students whose parents can cut the check, but to those who can do the work and benefit from the opportunities we offer”.He strongly believes that the cost of college should not be a deciding factor in receiving a proper liberal arts education, and that it is the duty of the institution, whether it be a private or public university, to ensure that.
