Johns Hopkins University is freezing hiring and pausing pay raises for higher-income staff as federal research funding continues to decline. University officials say they’ve lost over 50-million dollars in grants this year, and that’s on top of the loss of more than 800-million dollars from USAID grant terminations. Capital projects and discretionary spending are also being scaled back, and officials warn proposed federal policies could cost Hopkins hundreds of millions more. The university says it’s tapping into its endowment and continuing to advocate for support to protect its research and academic mission.
