Baltimore — The Johns Hopkins University began laying off employees this week following a series of cost-cutting measures the school introduced last year.
About 110 employees, “primarily serving administrative functions, were laid off from university administration and other divisions” as a last resort, a Hopkins spokesperson said Thursday in a statement.
“The layoffs impacted administrative staff in the Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Carey Business School, as well as University Administration,” the spokesperson said.
The layoffs mark the latest step in a cost-reduction effort that began last year as Hopkins grappled with growing financial pressure tied to cuts in federal research funding.
