Kaya Walker, former president of the NYU College Republicans, resigned on February 16, 2025, after backlash over her comments describing Barron Trump, son of former President Donald Trump, as “an oddity on campus.” Her remarks, which were seen as dismissive, led to criticism from conservative groups and ultimately her resignation.
Barron, attending NYU’s Stern School of Business, keeps a low profile despite media attention. The controversy highlights the challenges of expressing conservative views at a liberal university and raises broader questions about free speech and political expression on campus.
