Sitting on $13 billion, Johns Hopkins University cries poverty. NBC sobs.

NBC reported, “Johns Hopkins University to let more than 2,000 workers go after Trump’s USAID cuts.”

The story said, “The university, one of the country’s most significant and prestigious scientific research institutions, said in a statement Thursday that it would eliminate 1,975 jobs internationally and 247 in the United States as the result of cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development. An additional 78 U.S.-based and 29 international employees will be furloughed.”

The university said, “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.”

Here is what they didn’t say: Johns Hopkins has a $13 billion endowment that grew by $2.5 billion in the last fiscal year.

That increase was triple the $800 million in savings U.S. taxpayers will enjoy by dethroning this welfare queen.

Johns Hopkins, railroad millionaire and banker, deserved a better legacy than what the greed of these craven little cowards have done to the hospital and university he founded.

“ it would eliminate 1,975 jobs internationally and 247 in the United States as the result of cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development”

I wonder why Johns Hopkins does not publish a list of every project, Country and pay scale for the people involved in these “research” projects. They are taxpayer funded. People who are employed by the government have their salaries and job titles on a published list somewhere.
