Johns Hopkins University announced it will cut over 2,000 jobs due to the termination of $800 million in grants by the Trump administration. This is the largest layoff in the university's history, affecting 247 jobs in the U.S. and 1,975 abroad. The job cuts will impact the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the medical school, and the international health non-profit Jhpiego. The university stated that the funding loss is forcing it to reduce critical work both locally and internationally. The Trump administration has canceled a significant portion of USAID programs and is investigating several universities, including Johns Hopkins, over allegations related to pro-Palestinian protests.
