Heald College is fined $30 million dollars from the U.S. Department of Education, If a prospective buyer wants to buy a company that already in debt, it will not be an attractive buy obviously. It's like someone offering you to buy their car that is wrecked, you would buy it and pay for all the repairs to bring it back up to a functional state. At this point you might as well move on, get a new car and start fresh with payments that is worth paying. In this case, the outcome looks bleak, I get that some of the students and staff are trying to be optimistic about the whole thing, but they need to understand the whole picture and should have started a worst case senerio (plan B) just in case plan a while back when they found out that Conrintian Colleges was in trouble last fall. For some it will be too late, I would start applying for unemployment or enrolling to another college to play it safe.
