Barron Trump, son of former President Donald Trump, began his first day at New York University's Stern School of Business where he met interim dean J.P. Eggers. Eggers, along with 13 other NYU Stern administrators, signed a 2020 open letter warning that Donald Trump was 'unfit to lead' and a 'threat to the Republic.' The letter, which amassed over 1,000 signatures from various business schools, was authored by Harvard's Deepak Malhotra and urged business leaders to publicly denounce Trump's presidency. Despite the political tension, Donald Trump mentioned that Barron chose NYU for its quality and proximity to their Manhattan home. Barron, now 18, was escorted by a security detail and met with Eggers before attending his first class. Many of the signatories of the open letter are still affiliated with NYU, raising potential challenges for Barron in navigating these dynamics during his studies.
