Johns Hopkins to slash 2,200 jobs after Trump admin's USAID cuts

• Johns Hopkins said the cuts have forced it to "wind down critical work" in Baltimore and internationally.
• Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced this week the Trump administration was canceling 83% of USAID programs.

Driving the news: "We can confirm that the elimination of foreign aid funding has led to the loss of 1,975 positions in 44 countries internationally and 247 in the United States in the affected programs," the university said in an emailed statement Thursday evening.

• "An additional 29 international and 78 domestic employees will be furloughed with a reduced schedule."
• The university said it's proud of the work at places impacted by the cuts.
• Cuts affected Jhpiego, a recognized expert in maternal health; the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the oldest and largest such school in the U.S.; and the School of Medicine.
• It works "to care for mothers and infants, fight disease, provide clean drinking water, and advance countless other critical, life-saving efforts around the world," the university added in the statement.

What's next: U.S. based workers are being given at least 60 days of advance notice before the reductions or furloughs take effect, per Johns Hopkins.

• The university said it is providing "support with additional benefits, assistance, and resources to help employees navigate this transition and explore new opportunities."
• "For international employees, we will be complying with local employment laws."
