Multiple people at NYU have reportedly not seen Donald Trump‘s son, Barron Trump, on campus for roughly seven months. Despite widespread reports that he is enrolled there, Barron’s seeming absence is now making headlines. The report attributes the claim to individuals familiar with student life at the school, but no independent confirmation of his in-person attendance has emerged. Moreover, the report does not include a comment from the Trump family or NYU.
Barron Trump has not attended New York University in 7 months, says sources
According to Rob Shuter’s exclusive #ShuterScoop report, sources, classmates, and campus insiders claimed they have not spotted Barron Trump in classes or common areas in NYU this academic year. One source told Shuter, “If he were walking around campus, people would know.” They explained, “You don’t overlook someone that tall.”
There is no verified explanation for Barron’s absence from campus premises. However, a source claimed, “Not a single student has seen him. Everyone knows the President’s son is supposed to be here, but it’s like he’s a ghost.” An insider from the university said, “People joke he’s only enrolled on paper.” Shuter’s report noted no official guidance about Barron’s study arrangements. Additionally, there was no indication in the article of any change to his student status.
That said, since student records are protected by law, universities generally do not discuss individual enrollment or attendance. In the absence of on-the-record confirmation, the available information remains limited to what Shuter’s sources say they have and have not observed in terms of noticing Barron on campus.
For now, Shuter’s sources paint just one picture: people around NYU say they have not seen Barron attending in person for months. Some attribute the absence to Melania Trump’s extreme concern for her son. However, others simply speculate that he could be avoiding university and “studying remotely or under extraordinary protection.”
