Johns Hopkins University has become the latest research university to reach a multimillion-dollar settlement with current and former employees who sued it for mismanaging their pension funds, Pensions and Investments reported. The university, while admitting no wrongdoing, has agreed to pay $14 million to settle the claims, more than any other institution but Vanderbilt University, the trade publication reported.
