is it just me or does anyone else see the same kind of mean, bullshit posts. People personally attacking each other, calling each other names, making shit up just to try to incite panic. Is this really what we have been brought down to?
I know a man who had a long career at a University
Now he is doing some work locally involving an aspect of healthcare. He called our local Heald campus, and then decided after talking with Heald, they did not offer him what he needed. Heald continued to call him for six months, and no matter how... — read more
Buyer Now in Place
From wikipedia: "Sweet Briar College will acquire Heald College, changing the name to Sweet Heald College." Looks like we can say "sweet" everytime we show up to level the educational playing field and change student lives. How do you spell 150 more... — read more
Upset and disgruntled Heald graduates and former students getting the word out and planning to picket the Heald
Heald former students and graduates have been getting the word out for the past couple of years that they were "ripped off". It could get worse as plans are being made to picket the Heald.

WASC placing Heald accreditation on probation next month due to poor finances.
WASC will be announcing that Heald accreditation is on probation due to poor finances and falsified job placement records.
Things are looking up
So I heard through a birdie on social media that things may be looking up. Heald has been good at keeping mums on buyers. But I do believe they are on to something. Is anyone else getting that vibe?
Heald goes out of business due to loss of Federal Title IV eligibility the moment CCI files for BK.
Assuming CCI files for BK then Heald immediately shuts down its operations as CCI loses eligibility for federal student financing.
Heald folks - please visit the CCI layoff site
There are some raging racist posts from someone claiming to work in Student Services and live in the East Bay area. Really messed up stuff. You might want to take a look and consider who it might be if you work in the greater Bay Area.
That's hilarious, I didn't know Heald was still open!
Judging by all the Heald idiots on this page, it won't be open long! Good luck Losers!
Is There any information about Heald being bought out?
Thanks for the information. I think they are supposed to be bought be another college. Thanks.
Quiet before the storm...

The Corporations are to Blame
I am not Camden, but I think he/she would agree. In every area, whether its restaurants, retail, or profit education, corporations f**k things up. What does the college need really? Some admissions people, counselors, and faculty. Who is lowest paid... — read more
How many drops are you guys getting?
We already have 12 drops this week and another 9 that want to drop.
Heald, lovin' you is easy cause you're beautiful! Lalalalala, lalalalala, lalalalala....
Maybe I'm just drunk on unicorn spunk or faint from all the rainbows I've been sliding down today, but Heald is the greatest place in the history of the world and I'm not afraid to yell it from the mountaintops!.Anybody who disagrees needs a great... — read more
Looking to the Future and Seeing the Promise
Like so many Americans, I sat enthralled by the hit film “The Interns.” Watching the face of innovation right before us in Google as Luke and Vance toured the heart of future thinking was both exciting and inspiring. I would bet that many of you felt... — read more
Ken and Beth just cashed out at about 2 million dollars on Monday, do you honestly think that Heald has a buyer?

Today's CCI SEC filings. The Execs are getting a retirement package as of the 9th of March, but they will stay on as consultants.
For the slow Heald employees, the execs have cashed out and their money is safely in their own bank accounts. So while you may not get paid, the execs are all set. Does that sound like Heald will be fine? That there is a buyer? Wake up people! Stop... — read more
Heald Recruits People in Homeless Shelters!
Get off your friggin' high horse that Heald helps people. Heald targets the most vulnerable making false promises, while crushing people with debt that they can't pay with the $12 jobs that Heald may help you get, if you are the "lucky" 50% who has... — read more
Heald is a great example of why America is falling behind on education.
If Heald shuts down, maybe there is hope for us yet.
What is this innovation that is mentioned in so many posts? Is innovation bound to many mid-managers who make an awful lot of money?
And why, oh why, do you mention the same ole stale talking points? What is this elitism that is spoken of? Are state schools beneath most people? Is privatization the best? What exactly is a silver spoon - the brand new Lexus so many students drive? — read more
Name ONE Heald Grad in the past 50 years who has gone on to have some sort of International, Nationwide, or even Statewide success or notoriety.
Google it if you like, but what exactly has mountains of debt helped grads actually do in the world????

OK, I just got informed that I have a meeting tomorrow with my supervisor. Question: Is this a whiskey night? or just a couple beers?
Any insights are appreciated.
If Heald remains open, Education has won.
Ask a student what it would mean to lose a chance, maybe the only chance, at a college education because of politics. Elitism is alive and well. Education is what we have been fighting to deliver for 150 years, and the fight continues for everyone at... — read more
If Heald remains open, the AG has lost.
If Heald remains open then the California AG has lost. She really hasnt taken down any of the schools , just moved them over to a new name. The bad CA schools (Everest Hayward and San Francisco) were already closed anyways. Why would she then allow a... — read more
When an innovator appears, there is always some pushback.
The old guard despises innovation, as it cuts into their profits. These dinosaurs entrenched in the old ways of doing things also fear for their own jobs. Seeing all of those arguing that Heald should be closed only further bear out this point. Think... — read more
CCI or Heald will do what they think they should to remain relevant, but the damage is done. To remain competitive, these schools must go
one up, not two down. If Heald cuts education requirements, then so be it. The Heald degree/diploma mill will be even more useless. Businesses all over the state, in numerous polls and research, already want employees that are more qualified in the... — read more
Heald moving to Diplomas(shorter programs)

Not good. I think we should sue the site and see what we can squeeze out of them. Is Saul Goodman available?
Heald is a fraud and should be shutdown.
Heald is a fraud and should be shutdown being told by dissatisfied Heald graduates to the California Attorney General. When Heald was told that by the AG then "all of a sudden" the petition drive to "save the Heald" was canceled.
