  • The Johns Hopkins University said on Thursday it will slash over 2,000 jobs in the U.S. and abroad after the administration of President Donald Trump terminated $800 million in grants to the renowned academic institution.

Johns Hopkins University has announced it will cut approximately 2,000 jobs following a significant reduction in federal funding, particularly after the Trump administration decided to end a grant that supported the university's research into the effects of climate change on public health. This decision has led to a $100 million shortfall in the university's budget, prompting the layoffs which affect both faculty and staff across various departments. The university, known for its medical and research programs, stated that these cuts were necessary to address the financial strain caused by the loss of this crucial funding. The move has sparked concerns about the future of research at Johns Hopkins and the broader implications for academic institutions dependent on government grants.
