Amen to the comment about faculty and retention. For-profits aren't losing students because of the faculty. Anyone who seriously thinks that is engaged in severe self-delusion.

Anyone who has been in for-profit education for any length of time knows that putting the faculty on the hot-seat for retention purposes is a complete waste of time. Retention is all about admissions (sales) bringing in students who can do the work... — read more 

Heald college DOAA's at the upcoming weekly (or daily) faculty meeting will be stressing "student retention". The October numbers (as everyone knows by now) were an absolute disaster. Making it worse is that student attendance for the 1st week of... — read more 

Heald lost a LOT of students during the first week with dropouts demanding refunds.

CCI saved Heald.

Is that what 150 + years of reputation came down to? Wow!

Heald College is going through a major reorganization. NEW Director of Admissions (oops sales) are "cleaning house". The October enrollment numbers are so BAD that Heald has decided to clean house. NONE of the admission people made their quota and... — read more 

Yes.

That's a very very bold statement!! When Oct 31 comes and goes and there hasn't been any layoffs or restructure will we then have to wait again until January?

Plan on corporate restructuring and layoffs on Oct. 31.

The online numbers seem to be way down as well.

@ Dr. Who. You did the right thing by not taking a part time faculty job. I am surprised that they did not try to get you to hang around for the quarter by telling you in so many words "Forget the administrative crap and quit at the end of the... — read more 

My last day was 10/15. I went to HR and dropped off my ID badge and keys and a letter of resignation. HR immediately called the DAA, who met with me and asked me to stay as part-time. I asked for the evening to think about it. He called me within two... — read more 

@Anonymous (prior at 2:42 AM) I made numerous posts in the past couple of months regarding the impending meltdown at Heald College.

CCI's numbers come out on Oct. 31 and you should plan on MASSIVE layoffs similar to the University of Phoenix. Just use some common sense. ALL the for profits are suffering HUGE drops in enrollment.

@Anonymous (prior at 2:42 AM) I made numerous posts in the past couple of months regarding the impending meltdown at Heald College.

are you guys following the discussion that's taking place at UOP's board? it seems that they got pretty hard yesterday with thousands laid off and several campuses closing. i am hoping we'll not going to have to go thru that.

They just fired the Director of Career Services, book store folks, Director of Sales, oops Admissions, and even the Campus President of one of the Healds in the San Jose area. They are having Heald-Phone-a-Thons and numbers are still going... — read more

Corporate makes it sound as if we have surpassed expectations for quarter one, however I find that hard to believe.....are you guessing that layoffs will be coming October 31st or have you heard something along this line?

Yes please share where there are recent layoffs and the numbers. This is important to many of us.

What do you mean? The amount of staff will be layed off or managment, instructors, etc...who?

You should expect a layoff similar suffered by the University of Phoenix today at CCI on Oct. 31

Everest College in Southern California is likely to be teaching out some campuses over the next year due to new California state regulations and rapidly declining enrollment.

I am a previous instructor at Everest Fort Worth South. I left because of the lady they have as "Chair". She belittles the instructors and stabs them in the back. She has given up basically and it has hurt the program tremendously. The MA program at... — read more 

You have to look at its leadership. RVPA: came from Westwood (HS program fell apart) RAVP (Presenter) came from CEC (school was shut down)

The Everest High School is falling apart because it costs CCI money.

Why is the Everest High School (West) program falling apart?

@ Dr. Who. Heald is probably going to be happy to see you go. You are entitled to all amounts due within 72 hours of you getting notice. Best of Luck.

Tomorrow is D-Day for me at Heald. I would absolutely LOVE to stay, but the situation there doesn't warrant my loyalty. I love the students with whom I work; I know for a fact that may of them have never encountered a teacher who gives a shit about... — read more 

Enrollments are down almost 40% when compared to 2009-10 numbers. Some say 50% plus. If that's the case than it's time to pack the dishes!

The results of the Heald Phone-A-Thon are in and it is NOT good. Expect an average enrollment among Heald campuses to be between 10 to 20% less in the October 2012 quarter compared to the October 2011 quarter. Faculty members are to "pass everybody... — read more 

@high school coordinator. Heald College "presenters" say the same thing when they visit local high shools.

we are getting kicked out of the schools by principals while we are there and by districts who are deciding not to let any for-profits in the schools. Anyone else running in to this?

You need to check YOUR campus enrollment. Southern California Everest campuses are starting to have SIGNIFICANT drops in enrollment. Significant being over 20% in some campuses.

Well the president got walked out today... this is the 2nd one in less than a year and all the presidents at ALL DFW schools(dallas, Dallas-mid, Fort worth and Fortworth South) have been fired in the past 10 months.

It's a long shot but if you are one of the Heald sales people with a BS degree then you could try applying for an open adjunct faculty position should one arise.

CCI will announce the results for the quarter ending on September 30, 2012 on October 31, 2012.

Who knows ?? Maybe I did tell Heald that they have problems. Many FORMER employers of Heald graduates HAVE discontinued their employment relations due to poor SLOs (student learning outcomes). In any event, we are going to find out REAL QUICK in a... — read more
