What I don’t know is how many people attended Trump University and/or Trump Entrepreneurship Institute and how many graduates did they have? As I understand it (and I welcome correction here), they have 10,000 surveys that offer them a 98% satisfaction rate.
At the same time, they have class action lawsuits representing 5,000 students.
If they had 1,000,000 graduates and only 5,000 joined in on the class action lawsuit, then the 98% satisfaction rate is not out of line.
But if the 10,000 surveys represent all of the graduates, why are half of them now joining in on the lawsuit? I understand that it is sometimes tempting to join and “grab a piece of the pie”, but I’m wondering what percentage of the graduates this lawsuit actually represents.
As for the $1,500 price tag, that was the “get in the door” price, and you are correct in that it is not an out-of-line price point. To get the full benefit, however, you had to pay upwards of $30,000, and I don’t know if that one is justifiable for what the students received.
The 98% approval rate is a lie, there is no way to substantiate that number, it comes directly from Trump. Believing the 98% is like believing the 99.9% approval rating given to dictators in their elections. However we do know from a disposition that Trump gave in the civil case that his “University” was forced to refund between 25 and 30% of the money that the suckers (I’m sorry I mean customers) paid for the short course.
Check it out...this is one of the folks complaining.
