Trump University was an American company that was founded in 2004 by Donald Trump and his associates Michael Sexton and Jonathan Spitalny. It offered courses in real estate, asset management, entrepreneurship, and wealth creation. Its real estate training program ran from 2005 to 2010. It was owned and operated by The Trump Organization. A separate organization, Trump Institute, was licensed by Trump University but not owned by The Trump Organization. In 2011, amid multiple investigations, lawsuits and student complaints, it ceased operations.
Despite its name, the organization was not an accredited university or college. It conducted three- and five-day seminars and used high-pressure tactics to sell them to its customers. It did not confer college credit, grant degrees, or grade its students. From Wikipedia
