What was Trump University's actual educational status despite its name?

Question

Accepted Answer

Despite its name, Trump University was not an accredited university or college, did not confer degrees or college credit, and did not grade students. It was simply a series of real estate seminars held in hotel ballrooms using high-pressure sales tactics. The New York State Education Department told Trump in 2005 it was illegal to use "university" without proper licensure, but Trump ignored the warning and continued the deceptive practice—demonstrating the same disregard for educational standards that borrower defense rules are designed to prevent.
