| [IsraelTimes] The prestigious Johns Hopkins University says it is being forced to lay off more than 2,000 employees in the aftermath of the Trump administration’s massive reduction in foreign aid funding. The poor darlings. Cut off from government monies that were being improperly spent… at best. Enjoy your slimming diet as you are right-sized, guys. “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 school — a top research institute barely an hour’s drive from the US capital — says in a statement.Related: Johns Hopkins University: 2025-03-02 The Jew hate-Black Bloc nexus in American universities 2/23-3/1: The feds take an interest Johns Hopkins University: 2025-01-12 Rutgers SJP staged a protest outside of the Chabad House on campus, chanting “globalize the intifada.”…and more Johns Hopkins University: 2025-01-08 The View co-host Sunny Hostin's surgeon husband Emmanuel accused of insurance fraud in bombshell lawsuit |

| #16 I would not be surprised I had two jobs, an overloaded schedule of 15 STEM hours, showered at the gym and slept in a garage stall. Best boogie time ever. |

| #15 Say $50k/year at 2,000 employees = $100million Is that part of a grande $800million 'grant', or $800million went to just Johns Hopkins, and if so where is the rest of the money? |

| #14 John Hopkins has an endowment fund of over 13 Billion dollars. But they don't want to dip into their own pocket to pay their employees - they want someone else to pay for their own staff. |

| #11 It's for people whose families can afford to support them I would not be surprised if at least half of Rantburgers paid for college mostly or entirely on their own. |

| #9 Bypass college. Bypass frickin high school. Get into an apprenticeship program to be a plumber. You'll be making big bucks and laughing at all your friends who are still studying French literature at the university. |

| #8 We need to face the fact that we're not all cut out for college. It's for people whose families can afford to support them while they stay in school until their mid-20s and for people who have an aptitude for science, technology, engineering and math. If you're not one of those people you'd be better off going directly into a trade of some sort. |

| #5 Don’t have to fire tenured faculty when you get rid of faculty positions, Grom, and then shut down the department. Over the past decade, my sister has twice been the last man standing after the university retrenched. This May when she turns out the lights and locks up, she’ll leave academia, too — and she teaches computer programming, not the fluff courses we all love to mock. |

| #1 I am happy they are winding down strong>internationally, work using US Taxpayer $$$$. Maybe the strong>international will now pay for what it gets free, at our expense. Out of curiosity, were they charging for the services paid for by the US Taxpayers? If so how about a refund? |
