Thread regarding Heald College layoffs

This is the breakdown of the findings:

ARTICLE: http://consumerist.com/2015/04/22/california-bureau-of-consumer-affairs-orders-cci-to-stop-enrollment-at-wyotech-everest-campuses/

"Under Title IV HEA regulations, as of October 2, 2012, a fine of up to $35,000 can be assessed for each violation of any provision of Title IV or any implementing regulation or agreement, increased from the prior maximum of $27,500. Based on its finding that the college’s federal Pell Grant, Direct Loan, and campus-based funding levels exceeded median funding levels, the Department determined that the college was not a “small institution.” Concluding that the college’s violations were “severe, and the potential harm to the government and to students is also severe,” the Department intends to fine the college $27,500 for each of 464 placement rates disclosed in documents disseminated by the college prior to October 2, 2012, and $35,000 for each of 482 placement rates disseminated thereafter, totaling $29,630,000. Also assessed against the college is an additional fine of $35,000 for misrepresenting its medical assistant program job placement rates to its program accreditor, for a total fine of $29,665,000."

@426, what is the really bad stuff we've done if you believe it's not been covered by the lawsuits?

Good thing DOE isn't going after us for the really bad stuff we've done.

The letter is also full of lack of understanding of reporting. The DOE has bloated their findings just as much as they are accusing Heald of bloating their placements!

Hi-Ho, Heald-ites! It's Jack here. I am busy pulling quarters out of my ass to pay that fine, so there is nothing to worry about. Business as usual.

Thats ridiculous! They are giving a finding for each program and level on the disclosure because someone didn't write in the deferral reasons? Look at other schools systems, they did not as well. This is an issue with the guidance of the online gainful employment disclosures. This is blown up using one error in the reporting on the website. But hardly an error because if you look at ITT and other schools, they are not fully explaining the waivers, deferrals, unavailables either.
