Johns Hopkins University lays off over 2,000 employees

economictimes.indiatimes.com — March 14, 2025 at 03:01 AM UTC

Johns Hopkins University is laying off over 2,000 employees due to cuts in foreign aid funding by the Trump administration. The university cites a loss of more than $800 million in USAID funding affecting key programs in Baltimore and internationally. The layoffs include 1,975 positions in 44 countries and 247 jobs in the U.S. Programs impacted include the medical school, public health school, and the global health non-profit Jhpiego, which has operated for over 50 years. Johns Hopkins is among the universities most affected by federal funding cuts for research. The university receives about $1 billion annually from the National Institutes of Health and is involved in a federal lawsuit challenging these funding reductions.
