Johns Hopkins faculty pushes back against budget cuts, demands more accountability from administration - LIZ BOWIE, BALTIMORE SUN

Johns Hopkins University faculty are demanding more transparency and a greater role in the governance of the university, saying the administration is imposing financial austerity measures that disproportionately affect the most vulnerable workers. In an unusual, sharply worded letter signed by 600 faculty across the university — from the Homewood campus to the Peabody music conservatory and the medical institutions — professors said they wanted a “frank report on the status of the university’s finances” and a “moratorium on cuts to staffing compensation and research funding.”
