Why does Trump University have positive reviews? Ex-students blame coercion

Donald Trump frequently defends his controversial, namesake university by pointing to a 98-percent approval rating from students. A recent article in the New York Times suggests that students at Trump University were coerced or pressured into giving those positive evaluations.

Trump University faces litigation over what the New York attorney general calls a “bait and switch scheme.” The now-defunct school promised to teach students Trump’s own secrets from the real estate industry. Students paid tens of thousands of dollars to enroll in the courses, and the lawsuit alleges that many assurances made by the program were fraudulent.

Now Trump’s biggest defense against accusers – that students loved Trump University – is starting to unravel. One former student says a teacher demanded he receive a perfect evaluation and refused to leave until he did (the article said teachers also received pay based on those evaluations). Another student says after he gave the university poor schools, “he was talked out of it by employees of the program, who called him three times, hounding him to raise his original scores.”

The New York Times wrote:
Interviews and documents show that employees of Trump University at times applied pressure on students to offer favorable reviews, instructed them to fill out the forms in order to obtain their graduation certificates, and ignored standard practices used to ensure that the surveys were filled out objectively.

1. Trump said that once a person makes a positive review of a product, they cannot later win a lawsuit.

So forcing people to make positive reviews of a Trump product or service must be
part of his risk management business plan.

He is a con artist.
