Great news, Heald has a buyer!! Next week will be exciting as the new buyer comes in and gets moving with new and innovative plans for the Heald. It might be a little loud, while McDonald's installs the Drive Thru windows, but after that all the... — read more 

Go to Yelp dot com and read the reviews for Heald College paying particular emphasis on YOUR campus.

Minerva has continued to bring in significant venture capital. They are based in S.F., but they lack the academic legitimacy that Heald and its reputation can provide. This rumor continues to gain traction. The Minerva model may be the future of... — read more 

Received an email that if a student even steps foot in the classroom, they are to be marked present. Is that practice kind of the same as where the funny numbers for placement originate?

A Heald IT graduate complained to the Dean that the only job he could find was working at McDonalds getting the response : "Operating a cash register is programming a computer and thus you are employed in the booming IT field".

Some of you are just in denial about it, but that you are here speaks much louder than your words. If you love Heald so much then start a fan page and leave the adults to talk about the reality on this page.

My guess: right after this post. Hit refresh a few times and see if I am right.

as it always is. Nothing new to report. The only curveball might be increased 401K matches from Heald. Keep up to date on this and increase your contributions to capture this additional money as it is warranted.

Obviously, with everything happening in the state our enrollments (all Cali Everests) are down to almost nothing, but we're still enrolling. Nothing has changed in our operations at all, which seems kind of weird. Is it the same at Heald? How many... — read more 

Heald will propose that employees work on credit until the Cal Grant monies arrive in April.

I think earliest any time now and latest middle of April, what do you think?

I am a part time instructor and I heard the same thing from 2 students today that admissions is trying to convince them to do the AA telling them if Heald closes they won't have to pay any of their student loans. This is exactly how Heald got into... — read more 

I know there are a number of groups interested, but it would be nice to get the sale settled soon. Waiting until summer to finalize would create unnecessary uncertainty that could impact employee and student morale.

President Deshon made the following speech the day before payroll was due: "It is with regret that we announce the immediate closure of Heald College. Due to the excessive demands from the CA AG who has refused to allow the sale of Heald college... — read more 

We would welcome our new midterm students but we don't have any.

Fire the bloated mid-management! Does a school with a dwindling population need so many full time directors? All these people with titles, oh my.

It's the only reason to still be at Heald. It's only second to getting paid, but you can't have everything.

Luckily, I was able speak with representatives at Kwikset. It looks like there will NOT be any padlocked colleges. I also met with the California AG, Governor, and Warren Buffet. We are fine.

Get your personal belongings out of your Heald office. It looks more and more likely that the doors to Heald will one day just be locked.

Should be a barrel of laughs! Ha!

So we had 0 re enters and 8 enrollments. Anybody else?

The banter was witty. The insights were revelations. All spoke of Heald with admiration. Expansion of the college was discussed. One unnamed but well-known elected official confessed to admiration for the curriculum.

Heald is scrounging up money to meet the payroll.

The CA AG put Heald on notice that a criminal complaint is quite likely.

I know that at my campus some vendors are not being paid. Some services are not active or intermittently active. I know that we just had our mid-quarter orientation so we DID have new enrollees, I don't have actual numbers, though. I know that we're... — read more 

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! Grow up!

You have thousands of students and employees in limbo, useful information would be helpful at this point.

Yawn.

Heald is NOT going to close! There is a buyer and they are in negotiations with the AG and there will be a deal soon. Heald is over 150 years old and has been an institution in California. Many great people have graduated from Heald and continue to... — read more 

Heald can't afford copy paper for its instructors or students, but it can send two of its execs to Hawaii on a business trip next week. It's no wonder Heald is going out of business.

If you are so sure Heald is so great, that there is a buyer and that it is NOT closing, then why are you on the Heald forum on a site called "the Layoff"? You should find the forum for delusional mental midgets, like you all apparently are. I say we... — read more

Heald has been and is still doing the things that got CCI in trouble. Stop whining and take some responsibility for yourselves and the damage you have done on so many levels.

California Attorney General has heard of the latest Heald shenanigans of pushing Cal Grants, claiming that they are not part of CCI and told Heald that CA might seek a "cease and desist" order and/or a TRO prohibiting the enrollment of new students.

Heald doesn't have money to pay operating expenses after losing CA grant and has already told the California Attorney General that it may be shutting down as early as next week.
