Trump University
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trump University is an online education company owned and founded by real estate tycoon Donald J. Trump, Sr. It is part of the Trump Organization. It offers correspondence courses in real estate, management, negotiation, entrepreneurship and wealth creation. It is not an actual accredited University.
Trump University does not confer college credits or degrees. Donald Trump brought together education pioneer Roger Schank and professors such as Gary Eldred (Stanford University) and Don Sexton (Columbia University) to work out the curriculum for the subjects.
Trump University offers online courses, packaged audio courses (featuring CDs and links to online material), as well as discussion groups, "The Trump Blog," the online and the newsletter Inside Trump Tower. It also offers an email newsletter.
Trump University frequently announces speaking dates of Trump and his colleagues.
Trump University has been controversial as a confirmed source of spam. The spam, which originates from servers in Provo, Utah, include offers for pet medications, diet pills, software, loans, photo contests, and mortgage applications. [1] [2] [3] Trump University denies the allegation.
[edit] Popular Culture
In the second episode of The Root of All Evil (TV series), where Andy Kindler advocates Donald Trump being the root of all evil, a sketch scene makes fun of Trump University.
