Johns Hopkins to cut 2,000 jobs due to funding loss

sun-sentinel.com — March 14, 2025 at 01:01 AM UTC

Johns Hopkins University will cut nearly 2,000 jobs due to an $800 million loss in federal grants, primarily from USAID. The cuts will impact its medical school, Bloomberg School of Public Health, and JHPIEGO, affecting both domestic and international programs. The university's spokesperson confirmed that 1,975 positions will be eliminated internationally, with 247 jobs lost in the U.S. An additional 107 employees will face furloughs. Employees will receive at least two months' notice before layoffs. Johns Hopkins relies heavily on federal funding, which has been reduced under the Trump administration. The university's president warned that these cuts could significantly impact research and medical work.
