С Trump University техасский губернатор Эбботт знаком не понаслышке.

As scores of students complained that Trump University was a ripoff, the Better Business Bureau in 2010 gave the school a D-minus, its second-lowest grade. State regulators also began to take notice.
Besides the probe that led to Attorney General Schneiderman’s suit in New York, the office of then-Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican, opened a civil investigation of “possibly deceptive trade practices.” Abbott’s probe was quietly dropped in 2010 when Trump University agreed to end its operations in Texas. Trump subsequently donated $35,000 to Abbott’s successful gubernatorial campaign, according to records.

Интересно, что, пока это ещё не стало немодно, Эбботт позиционировал себя, как друг университетов. В 2015 он учредил фонд в $40 миллионов для привлечения маститых профессоров в местные университеты. С помощью этих денег удалось нанять 10 профессоров.

В 2017 Эбботт запросил ещё $40 миллионов, но техасские республиканские законодатели урезали финансирование программы до нуля.
