Johns Hopkins to cut nearly 2,000 jobs

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 and 247 in the U.S. An additional 107 employees will face furloughs. Employees will receive at least two months' notice before layoffs or furloughs. Johns Hopkins relies heavily on federal funding, which has been reduced under the Trump administration's spending cuts. The university's president warned of significant impacts on research and medical work due to these funding losses.
