Johns Hopkins University to cut 2,000 jobs globally

gulfnews.com — March 14, 2025 at 06:02 AM UTC

Johns Hopkins University announced it will lay off over 2,000 employees globally due to a significant cut in foreign aid funding from the U.S. government. The university is losing more than $800 million in USAID support, impacting projects in 44 countries. The layoffs include nearly 1,975 jobs in international projects and 247 in the U.S. The cuts affect the university's medical school, public health school, and its non-profit organization, Jhpiego, which focuses on global health initiatives. Federal funding accounted for nearly half of Johns Hopkins' financial support last year. The university is currently involved in a federal lawsuit challenging the funding cuts.
