The U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) has issued termination notices to most of its employees, affecting various departments within the congressionally funded organization. This decision follows a controversial incident involving the Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, which has drawn attention to the institute's ongoing changes. The future of USIP, which employs around 300 people and has been instrumental in promoting peace and conflict resolution, remains uncertain amid these significant organizational shifts.
