University of Akron to offer course on Donald Trump

AKRON, Ohio -- The University of Akron will offer a new course next spring on President-elect Donald Trump's historic election.

The class, "Trump's Triumph," will focus on Trump's rise during the 2016 presidential election. Students will examine how Trump gained broad support and delve into his policies. The course, offered through the political science department, will also study the polls -- and why they were wrong. Students will also look into why Trump supporters chose to vote for the president-elect.

The class is open to undergraduate and graduate students at Akron.

"My course will answer a lot of questions people still have after the election," said professor Matthew Akers, director of government relations and assistant director of the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics. "We will discuss what happened during the 2016 presidential campaign as well as examine Trump and his positions and influences."

Shouldn't this be a psychology course. Analyzing his mind and personality could be a great teaching moment. We have to warn future generations.

Wouldn't a Trump library consist of mainly his tweets? I doubt that he reads much.
