Johns Hopkins University Cuts 2,000 Jobs After Trump’s Policies
Johns Hopkins University has announced plans to eliminate over 2,000 positions following an $800 million reduction in grants from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). This significant funding cut, enacted by the Trump administration, affects both domestic and international operations, leading to 247 job losses in the U.S. and approximately 1,975 positions across 44 countries.
The impacted departments include the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the School of Medicine, and the global health nonprofit Jhpiego. These reductions are among the most substantial in the university’s history and have prompted discussions about the broader implications for public health initiatives worldwide.
In response to these developments, universities nationwide are experiencing financial strain, leading to hiring freezes and staff layoffs. The Trump administration’s budgetary decisions have intensified these challenges, raising concerns about the future of academic research and employment within higher education.
