Donald Trump founded a university that wasn't one. Thousands of students complained. They will be compensated. Nevertheless, the US president is not aware of any guilt.
The "Trump University" lured with secret knowledge from the real estate industry. However, there were no accepted degrees. Thousands of participants complained about the quality of the courses and complained. Now, a US court has confirmed a million-dollar settlement in the lawsuit.
Trump had opened his "University" in 2005 as a online college, which was not officially recognized as a university. An enrollment cost up to $35,000. But many of the allegedly handpicked lecturers by Donald Trump did not have any suitable degrees. In 2011, the "Trump University" finally closed down.
A court in San Diego had agreed to a settlement barely a year ago. Trump had then offered to pay more than 4000 ex-students and the judiciary $25 million, about 20 million euros. In return, all plaintiffs should refrain from further action. Also he doesn't acknowledge any guilt. As president, he simply has no time to deal with the case, he said.
An ex-student wanted to get out of the agreement and individually sue Trump. She therefore sued against the binding settlement, but lost the case eventually.

Let's see, both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs NEVER graduated from college and became BILLIONAIRES!! Who needs a degree?
Now the question is: Is the CONTENT or ADVICE given by the person you're paying WORTH IT? I have found fault with BOTH "higher education" and well as "gurus" and "coaches." Some I have paid, others not. But when I DO get good advice, I pay them!!!

I feel like 90% of the people who run online courses are huxters, so no surprise here :D
