- “随着我们的联邦研究项目经费缩水，围绕该项目的配套基础设施也必须同步调整，”校方表示。
- 唐纳德·特朗普政府已试图就一系列议题削减对各大学的联邦资助。
- 这些议题包括针对美国盟友以色列袭击加沙的亲巴勒斯坦抗议、跨性别政策、气候倡议以及多元化项目。
- 人权维权人士已就言论自由、学术自由和正当程序问题提出担忧。
- 法官曾在部分案件中下令特朗普政府恢复被冻结的大学联邦资助资金。
- 约翰·霍普金斯大学今年2月曾报告称，“2025日历年期间，我们多年期联邦研究项目的未结总价值已减少逾5亿美元”。
- 校方补充道：“这在一定程度上是因为我们获得的联邦研究资金比上一年减少了43%，获批项目也减少了28%。”
- 该校本月早些时候宣布，将在未来两年内每年拨款6000万美元设立新研究基金，以应对联邦研究资助削减带来的挑战。
- 该校去年曾表示，由于特朗普政府终止了部分拨款，将在全美及海外裁员逾2000人。
- 特朗普特别指责各大学的亲巴勒斯坦抗议活动属于反犹行为，并为极端组织提供了支持。
- 包括部分犹太团体在内的抗议者表示，政府错误地将对以色列袭击加沙及其占领巴勒斯坦领土的批评，等同于反犹主义，将支持巴勒斯坦权利等同于支持极端主义。

- “As our federal research portfolio shrinks, the infrastructure around it must change in parallel,” it said.
- President Donald Trump’s administration has attempted to cut federal funds for universities over a range of issues.
- These include pro-Palestinian protests against U.S. ally Israel’s assault on Gaza, transgender policies, climate initiatives and diversity programs.
- Rights advocates have raised concerns about free speech, academic freedom and due process.
- Judges have in some cases ordered the Trump administration to restore frozen federal funds for universities.
- The Johns Hopkins University reported in February that “the total outstanding value of our multiyear federal research portfolio had declined by more than $500 million in calendar year 2025.”
- It added: “This was due in part to our receiving 43% less in federal research funding and 28% fewer awards than in the previous year.”
- The university said earlier this month it was designating $60 million annually for the next two years for a new research fund due to challenges from reductions in federal research funding.
- The university said last year it was slashing over 2,000 jobs in the U.S. and abroad after the Trump administration terminated some grants.
- Trump particularly alleges pro-Palestinian protests at universities were antisemitic and supported extremist groups.
- Protesters, including some Jewish groups, say the government wrongly conflates criticism of Israel’s assault on Gaza and its occupation of Palestinian territories with antisemitism and advocacy for Palestinian rights with support for extremism.
