Eighteen-year-old Barron Trump’s first day of college at New York University’s Stern School of Business allegedly began by meeting his school’s once outspoken anti-Trump dean.
Interim dean J.P. Eggers was one of 14 NYU Stern administrators to sign an October 2020 open letterwarning business leaders of then-President Donald Trump’s “threat” to “our republic.” The letter included over 1,000 signatories from business schools across America, including from Harvard, Yale, Cornell, and Columbia. Professor Deepak Malhotra of HarvardUniversity served as the letter’s main author.
“It is time for business leaders to follow suit and speak out against the threat Trump poses to our country,” the letter urged, referencing veterans, scientists, doctors, and other professional groups that spoke out against Trump in the lead-up to the 2020 election won by Joe Biden.
“My analysis shows the statements of financial conditions for all the years were not materially misstated,” Bartov said in the testimony. “There is no evidence here of concealment.” Bartov is still listed as a professor of accounting under the school’s faculty.
In February, Trump was found guilty of fraud and ordered to fork over a $455 million judgement.
Justice Arthur Engoron rebuked Bartov’s testimony in denying Trump’s request for the case to be decided in his favor. “All that his testimony proves is that for a million or so dollars, some experts will say whatever you want them to say,” wrote Engoron, CNBC reported.
Eggers was appointed interim dean of Stern on July 1, 2024.
The New York University Stern School of Business did not reply to the Daily Beast’s emailed requests and calls for comment.
