Fact check: Who were Donald Trump's other professors at the Wharton School of Business?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, there is extremely limited information available about Donald Trump's specific professors at the Wharton School of Business. The search reveals only one confirmed professor name: William T. Kelley, who according to his friend Frank DiPrima, reportedly considered Trump his "dumbest student ever" ^[1].

The analyses confirm that Trump graduated from Wharton in May 1968 with a Bachelor of Science in Economics ^[2], having transferred there in 1966 after being interviewed by James Nolan, a former admissions officer at the University of Pennsylvania ^[3]. However, Nolan was an admissions officer, not a professor.

Several current Wharton faculty members are mentioned, but these are contemporary professors who requested an investigation into Trump's alleged SAT cheating, including Brian Berkey, Julian Jonker, William Laufer, Eric Orts, Amy Sepinwall, and Kevin Werbach from the Legal Studies & Business Ethics Department ^[4]. These individuals were not Trump's professors during his time at Wharton in the 1960s.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The analyses reveal a significant gap in publicly available information about Trump's actual professors during his time at Wharton. This absence of information is notable given that Trump has frequently leveraged his Wharton degree as evidence of his intellect and understanding of finance and economics ^{[5] [2]}.

The limited information available suggests conflicting narratives about Trump's academic performance. While Trump himself has referred to his Wharton degree as "super genius stuff" ^[3], the only professor-related anecdote found portrays him negatively through William T. Kelley's alleged assessment ^[1].

The institutional perspective appears to be one of distance, as noted in one analysis that Trump has been "distancing himself from Penn in his third presidential campaign" ^[5], suggesting a complex relationship between the alumnus and his alma mater.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question assumes that information about Trump's "other professors" exists and is readily available, when the analyses demonstrate that such information is largely absent from public records or reporting. The use of "other professors" implies there are multiple known professors beyond some initial reference, but the analyses show only one specific professor name (William T. Kelley) has been documented ^[1].

The question may inadvertently perpetuate the assumption that comprehensive records of Trump's academic relationships at Wharton are publicly accessible, when the evidence suggests this information is either not preserved, not reported, or deliberately kept private. This gap in available information could benefit those who wish to either mythologize or criticize Trump's academic credentials without substantial evidence either way.
