Johns Hopkins University to cut over 2,000 jobs

Johns Hopkins University will cut over 2,000 jobs due to a loss of $800 million 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 positions. The university will eliminate 1,975 positions internationally and 247 in the U.S., with additional furloughs planned. Employees will receive at least two months' notice before layoffs, and support will be provided to help them 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.
