Yah, but
"PragerU, short for Prager University, is an American non-profit organization that creates videos on various political, economic and philosophical topics from a conservative or right-wing[1] perspective. The videos are posted on YouTube and usually feature a speaker who lectures for about five minutes.[2] PragerU is not an academic institution, does not hold classes, and does not grant certifications or diplomas.[3]"
(My emphasis - From Wikipedia, under PragerU.)
They style themselves PragerU, because of course they're not a university. So they allude to the idea of university, but they're not. The best of all possible worlds, in some respects. But there's some question of whether they meet truth in advertising requirements.

Prager himself is an interesting guy - but I think there are blind spots in his worldview. PragerU is advocacy from a right-wing perspective - which I can easily get from Fox News or a dozen other sites. That's my criticism of Prager's product - it's very lopsided, & only pushes for that one POV. It doesn't help that by attaching U to the product's factory, they're invoking humanist & intellectual traditions that they don't actually intend (from what I've seen) to honor, let alone forward.
Since the advent of Limbaugh & Savage & Fox & Breitbart, more-or-less-conservative media outlets are a dime a dozen in the US. It's a kind of bandwagon effect - but I don't see any worthwhile purpose to put my shoulder to his (Prager's) wheel.
As opposed to Wm. F. Buckley, Charles Krauthammer, sometimes George Will (he goes on about baseball) - it was usually a pleasure to read their articles or books; you could admire the language & the thought & work that went into their efforts, even if you disagreed with their conclusions. I don't get that from Prager's output - it strikes me as a pure selling job, going through the motions & hitting their marks on cue.
PragerU published videos by Prager himself along with numberous other speakers. I don't listen to Prager, especially his religious views. But I do listen to the other speakers who do preset topic with a generally conservative cultural or political view.
Prager doesn't speak here. Mac Donald does. She speaks about identity politics infiltrating the universities. Did you have comment oin that topic.
Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler
