triblive.com — March 14, 2025 at 01:01 AM UTC

Many universities are implementing hiring freezes and layoffs due to financial uncertainty from potential federal funding cuts by the Trump administration. Johns Hopkins University plans to cut over 2,200 jobs, primarily affecting international staff. The Trump administration has proposed significant reductions to National Institutes of Health grants, which could impact universities by over $100 million. Several institutions, including Harvard and MIT, have announced hiring limits to manage financial risks. Columbia University faced a $400 million funding cut for not addressing antisemitism on campus. The Education Department warned 60 colleges about potential loss of federal funds if they do not ensure safety for Jewish students.
