Obviously, no gag clause involved: "Statement By A.G. Schneiderman On $25 Million Settlement Agreement Reached In Trump University Case NEW YORK – Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman issued the following statement on the $25 million settlement agreement reached in Trump University case: In 2013, my office sued Donald Trump for swindling thousands of innocent Americans out of ​millions of dollars through a scheme known as Trump University. Donald Trump fought us every step of the way, filing baseless charges and fruitless appeal​s​ and refusing to settle for even modest amounts of compensation for the victims of his phony university. Today, that all changes. Today's $25 million settlement agreement is a stunning reversal by Donald Trump and a major victory for the over 6,000 victims of his fraudulent university. I am pleased that under the terms of this settlement, every victim will receive restitution and that Donald Trump will pay up to $1 million in penalties to the State of New York for violating state education laws. The victims of Trump University have waited years for today's result and I am pleased that their patience--and persistence--will be rewarded by this $25 million settlement." http://www.ag.ny.gov/press-release/statement-ag-schneiderman-25-million-settlement-agreement-reached-trump-university

So $25 million / 6000 students is $4000 / student. And assuming lawyers take at least half, that’s $2,000/student. Wasn’t the total curriculum something like $31,000?
Trump could easily have spend $25 million on lawers defending against this.

$4,166 per person. I hope that they voted for him, because that seemed to increase the likeliness he would pay out.
