Johns Hopkins University is laying off about 110 employees across multiple schools and offices, including roles at its Carey Business School. The institution’s spokesperson said the cuts are part of broader adjustments tied to steep declines in federal research funding, which the report frames as among the largest in the university’s history. The layoffs affect administrative positions across the university’s central administration and at least two schools mentioned in the report. For higher education leaders, the announcement underscores how research funding contractions can translate into near-term staffing reductions, even in units not directly responsible for grantmaking.
