Dan Alexander

Visiting Lecturer in the Humanities Council; Ferris Professor of Journalism (Spring 2027)

Dan Alexander is a senior editor at Forbes and the author of “White House, Inc.: How Donald Trump Turned the Presidency into a Business.” Over 14 years at Forbes, he has dug into the finances of all sorts of people—manufacturing tycoons, sports owners, private-equity moguls, crypto entrepreneurs and many, many politicians. His work prompted state and federal investigations, came up repeatedly during Donald Trump’s fraud trial and helped send longtime Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg to jail. Alexander will teach a Spring 2027 seminar on business journalism titled “Follow the Money.”
