Johns Hopkins to Cut More Than 2,000 Workers Funded by Federal Aid​

The university, a leader in scientific research, has been hard hit by the Trump administration’s cuts, which will slash at least $800 million from its budget.

Johns Hopkins University, one of the country’s leading centers of scientific research, said on Thursday that it would eliminate more than 2,000 workers in the United States and abroad because of the Trump administration’s steep cuts, primarily to international aid programs.

The layoffs, the most in the university’s history, will involve 247 domestic workers for the university, which is based in Baltimore, and an affiliated center. Another 1,975 positions will be cut in 44 countries. They affect the university’s Bloomberg School of Public Health, its medical school and an affiliated nonprofit, Jhpiego.

Nearly half the school’s total revenue last year came from federally funded research, including $800 million from the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Johns Hopkins is one of the top university recipients of the funding that the administration is aiming to slash. And it appears to be among the most deeply affected of the major research institutions that are reeling from cuts — or the threat of cuts — to federal money that they depend on for research studies and running labs.

Congrats maga, not only have you decimated public health, consumer protections, education, civil rights, cleanliness of water and air, national parks, spending power, military capabilities, freedom of speech, public decency, infrastructure projects, all while facilitating the largest wealth transfer in history to the richest class of people in history, but now your killing research into cures and treatment for cancer, genetic disease, and Alzheimer’s.

🙏🏼 ☺️

DOGE Takeover Backfires Over ‘Impatient’ Goon’s Embarrassing Tech Flub​

DOGE Takeover Backfires Over Goon’s Embarrassing Tech Flub

A Trump official failed to fire an agency’s board because the person couldn’t figure out how to use email.
www.thedailybeast.com www.thedailybeast.com

“… Elon Musk’s group tried to fire the board in charge of the U.S. African Development Foundation and seize control of the agency, but they couldn’t figure out how to successfully send an email, the legal document filed Tuesday by the agency’s current president says.

Four out of the five emails that President Donald Trump’s legal team claimed were sent to terminate the agency’s leadership were never delivered.

… The filing says that one email was sent to a Gmail address, but the board member in question doesn’t have a Gmail account. Two others were sent to inactive USADF addresses. And most egregiously, the termination notice for John Agwunobi both spelled his name wrong and was sent to an address that incorrectly used a .org rather than a .gov ending.

… “Perhaps the incorrect email addresses were shots in the dark,” the document reads. “Perhaps they were attempts to deduce naming conventions from other email addresses at the agency or at a business. Perhaps it was assumed that someone with a distinctive name, like Carol Moseley Braun, would have that full name at Gmail. And perhaps a misspelled name and incorrect domain were simply the result of moving fast.”

It says that when DOGE staffers requested personal contact information for the board members, a USADF official said they would look into whether they were allowed to share the addresses.

“But the DOGE employees were too impatient and instead tried to find information about the Board members online,” the filing says. “They never followed up to ask the employee if she had been given permission to share the information (which she had).” …”

From a CNN story about this:

"This is a difficult day for our entire community. The termination of more than $800 million in USAID funding is now forcing us to wind down critical work here in Baltimore and internationally,” the Maryland-based university said, adding that it was proud of the work its employees have done “to care for mothers and infants, fight disease, provide clean drinking water, and advance countless other critical, life-saving efforts around the world.”

IMO, these type of activities are best provided by non-profit orgs with private donations.

That’s because you see it as no more than simple charity.

IMO your opinion is worthless.

They are definitely not best provided that way. That's been one of the lessons of the past 25 years. NGOs are not the way to go. They end up stepping over themselves because they have competing agendas. Haiti is the result of trying to do everything through NGOs.

This is an empirical question and the evidence is pretty clear.
 
So I take it that Silence doesn't like LGBTQ people then? And as someone else noted, these are university grants approved by experts in their fields. What does Musk or DOGE know about such things? Nothing, nada. They just cancelled all of these studies because they had "transgender" or "lesbian" or "gay" in their titles, which tells you all you need to know about their real agenda.
