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 students have you lost? How many staff/faculty? Thanks for sharing.

Our parking lot is almost empty at certain times of the day at Heald Stockton. At this rate, we will be down to 400 students by the time April rolls around.
Bravo! Trolling reverse fine some is that!
My apologies. I just checked locally and found many successful graduates who were well-trained in a variety of industries. I then broadened my focus and found even more national examples of both successful graduates and thriving current students. I humbly stand corrected.
72789-you are out of your mind. Look locally before you look nationally.
789 That is some fine reverse trolling! Bravo!
789 - How long have you worked in Heald's propoganda (I'm sorry...."Marketing") Department?
I have not seen any changes at all. In fact, my classes are full and students are especially good. It may be that Heald has turned the corner, so to speak, and will continue the positive push forward. 150 years under your belt will give you that sort of confidence. Everest simply does not have these sorts of academic roots or educational gravitas. While a Heald degree means a great deal in California, it also travels well to other states where the reputation for top-notch education is well-known.
On a campus level most people seem to be quietly waiting for and inevitable shut down or lay off. On a mid management level there is a lot of panic, since many of them are directly responsible for this mess and are going to have a hard time finding a new job at their current level and pay. Students are openly expressing concern about the pressure they are getting to re-enroll.
