JP Eggers was appointed interim dean of the New York University Stern School of Business on July 1.stBarron met with Eggers before his first class at the Stern School of Business, according to a statement from the White House. New York Post.
Along with Eggers, 13 other administrators from NYU Stern also signed the letter, titled “It's time for America's business leaders to speak out against the threat President Trump poses to our country.”
The letter was drafted in 2020 by Harvard Business School professor Deepak Malhotra and garnered over 1,000 signatures from staff at prominent business schools across the country.
“It is time for business leaders to say publicly what many have been saying privately all this time: President Trump is unfit to lead and a threat to the republic,” Malhotra wrote, adding that Trump has “disrespected science, spread lies, incited violence, attempted to delegitimize the press, politicized everything from the Department of Justice to the CDC to the Postal Service, and sought to undermine the integrity of American elections.”
Barron, who is 6 feet 7 inches tall, will commute to the campus from Trump Tower, which poses a “unique security challenge” for the Secret Service, said former Secret Service officer Paul Eklof.
“Let's say the president's child is at a party and someone tweets a photo of that. Then that child's location is published on social media and he or she could be targeted. That could put anyone at risk,” Eklof said.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump praised Barron after learning that he had been accepted and committed to New York University. Trump said his youngest son had “been accepted to a lot of colleges” after graduating from the prestigious Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida.
“He's a very bright kid, but he's not a kid anymore. He's grown into something much more than a kid. He's doing great things,” Trump proudly proclaimed. “He's very smart and he's going to go to Stern School of Business at New York University, which is a great school.”
