Online Business School Headed By Donald Trump Sued By Former Student
In a lawsuit filed in a California California federal court by a former Trump University student, Tarla Makaeff alleges that she spent more than $80,000 on online classes after lofty promises were made by Trump University employees. Makaeff goes on to say that she was made to believe that she would be personally assigned to real estate mentor and take part in a year long apprenticeship. Allegedly, Makaeff went to a hardware supply store and was instructed on what types of materials to purchase in order to repair foreclosed homes. When her phone calls for support went unanswered she assumed that she had come to the end of her apprenticeship.While Donald Trump is not directly named in the lawsuit he founded Trump University back in 2005. Federal regulators have requested that Trump University stop using the word university in its legal business name and literature because it deceives students into believing that it is an accredited school. The current President of Trump University, Michael Sexton, has stated publicly that the school is not responsible for Makaeff's financial issues.
Donald Trump, who is a world renowned real estate developer has been in the public eye because of his billion dollar business deals as well as a popular reality television show. If Makaeff is successful in suing Trump University she may be able to sue Donald Trump in civil court. Although Donald Trump has hired others to personally manage Trump University, he can still be liable if it is found that he was aware of the wrongdoings of his employees.
