Re: Trump Unveils Launch of Trump University

[David Campbell]

What I find most bothersome about "Trump University" is the anti-academic and anti-intellectual sentiment behind the idea.  And this coming from a highly influential celebrity.  I keep pushing the notion of "general education" to my students with the explicit assumption that given a good foundation in G.E. coursework (plus a major in some area), the employer can then add the nuts-and-bolts details of doing the job.  But Trump seems to think we need direct vocational training without all that college education stuff (like critical thinking and the like).  Essentially he's "dissing" much of what I fervently believe in.   --Dave Christopher D.
