GREENVILLE, N.C. --  President Donald Trump is holding a rally at East Carolina University this month, but the school is making it clear it didn’t invite him. “ECU is not hosting this event, serving as a sponsor or endorsing this specific candidate in any way,” the school said in a statement Wednesday.

  • Donald Trump is holding a rally at ECU on July 17 in Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum.
  • The university makes it clear that he was not invited and is just renting their space. 
  • Students took too twiiter to express their feelings about the upcoming event. 

The statement  continues, “We are simply renting the facilities to the Donald J. Trump Campaign in accordance with the ECU Use of University Property Regulation.”

The Keep America Great rally is scheduled for July 17 on campus in Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum, the same day Congress is expected to hear testimony from former special counsel Robert Mueller about his Trump campaign investigation.

When the news of the rally was announced by the Trump campaign Tuesday night, some ECU students and fans took to social media to express their concerns and resentment towards the decision.

One student tweeted she is going to take her “tuition dollars elsewhere” because Trump is coming.

A recent alumna said she’s “Never been so disappointed.” Another student tweeted, “Trump coming to ECU is my sign to LEAVE.”
