Johns Hopkins University to cut over 2,000 jobs

zerohedge.com

Johns Hopkins University announced it will lay off over 2,000 workers globally due to the loss of $800 million in federal funding. This includes 247 jobs in the U.S. and 1,975 positions in 44 countries. The layoffs will affect key areas such as the Bloomberg School of Public Health and the medical school. The university stated that the funding cuts are forcing it to reduce critical work both locally and internationally. These developments follow similar funding cuts to Columbia University and a broader investigation into anti-Semitism at 60 U.S. universities, including Johns Hopkins. The Trump administration has suspended many USAID programs, leading to significant contract cancellations.
