Kaya Walker, the former president of New York University’s College Republicans chapter, resigned after controversial comments she made about Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump. Barron, who attends NYU’s Stern School of Business, had already attracted attention due to his high-profile status, though little is known about his personal life on campus.
Walker’s remarks, made in an interview with Vanity Fair, described Barron as “an oddity” and noted that he “goes to class, he goes home.” These comments led to backlash, especially from the College Republicans of America, who felt her views did not align with their principles. As a result, Walker stepped down from her position on February 16.
In an interview with the New York Post, Walker defended her actions, expressing that she had worked hard to support the conservative movement at NYU, despite the challenges of being a Republican on a liberal campus. She noted the significant growth of the College Republicans chapter during her tenure.
Meanwhile, Barron’s life at NYU has remained mostly private, though rumors suggest he is adjusting well, with some sources claiming he is quite popular with his peers. The controversy surrounding Walker’s resignation highlights ongoing tensions within conservative student groups and the broader political landscape on campuses.
