| Johns Hopkins to cut 1,975 overseas jobs funded by US taxpayers |
| 2025-03-19 |
| [CollegeFix] Donald Trump’s cuts to USAID has led Johns Hopkins University to cut workers in foreign countries U.S. taxpayers will no longer subsidize nearly 2,000 Johns Hopkins University jobs overseas. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio plan to significantly scale back the United States Agency for International Development due to what the administration sees as wasteful spending. However, critics argue that USAID engages in lifesaving work overseas. This includes Johns Hopkins University, which says half of its budget comes from federal research grants – and will cut 1,975 overseas jobs and 247 stateside personnel due to Trump’s cuts. “This is a difficult day for our entire community,” the university told the media, as reported by NBC News. “The termination of more than $800 million in USAID funding is now forcing us to wind down critical work here in Baltimore and internationally.” However, much of that “critical work” is not done in Baltimore, but instead in “44 other countries in support of the university’s Bloomberg School of Public Health, its medical school and an affiliated nonprofit organization,” according to CBS News.

| #1 Lifesaving work can mean different things to different people. I would need a comprehensive audit to evaluate the claim of lifesaving. |
