Johns Hopkins University 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 job losses include 1,975 positions overseas and 247 in the U.S., with additional furloughs planned. Employees will receive at least two months' notice before layoffs, and the university will offer support during the transition. The funding cuts are part of broader federal spending reductions under the Trump administration, which have significantly affected Johns Hopkins, the largest private employer in Baltimore and a major contributor to Maryland's economy.
