I've read or heard that Universities teach that filing bankruptcy is an acceptable way to move up in the business world. Just wondering if this is really true, or not? If it's true, then I wonder why LIberals slam President Trump for filing bankruptcy years ago.?

I do not recall that taught in any business classes I took. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Liberals will slam trump for absolutely anything. he could cure cancer and they'd whine that chemo doctors are out of a job. He could save a woman from drowning and all you'd hear about is how he didn't ask for consent before giving mouth to mouth.
Everyone knows he's not my favorite guy, but I'll be the first to say he's treated unfairly and hypocritically by the media and the left. Criticism where criticism is due is one thing, but the left and the media go far, far beyond that.
As far as bankruptcy, I have no idea, it doesn't seem like a good thing, but again I have no clue.

I do not recall that taught in any business classes I took. Jim I have a BBA. My wife has an MBA. We agree with JabNE. This was in the early 70's. Maybe things have changed with the shift from individual responsibility to "You didn't build that" but I doubt it, or at least I hope not.

Seems I remember they taught a lot on good will and actually taught to avoid bankruptcy. However they did teach the artful form of incorporating to avoid some pitfalls and to keep your self free. The old teacher actually used a corporation I had here in Illinois as kind of a model, not my business but the paper work and filing all the junk. First mistake was filing in Illinois. So I wouldn't say he taught bankruptcy so much as a plan but to hedge your self or an insurance to keep the vultures away from the old homestead should things go sour. It was a college credited class, the teacher was a higher up in Joy Mining Machinery.

I know some like that as well. It can actually improve one's credit score. One of my high school classmates filed after doing business wrong the first time, and now owns an executive travel agency and many new businesses and built a new mansion in a city. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. I've heard Walt Disney also filed a few times before he got it right.
