Thread regarding Heald College layoffs

I didn't realize that Heald was a traditional college. Do any of you even remember how it all began 150 years ago? And how we almost went bankrupt during the non profit years?

We need to turn Heald into a college that students want to attend, instead of the current status as a college that has to pay sales reps to convince students to attend. We need students who do their due diligence before they apply and like what the see, not students who get their arms twisted, sign paperwork they don't understand, take out excessive loans, and never do any work in class. Why is raising our standards not a valid goal?

I do understand the market Heald "serves" and my point is that this business model (providing minimal educational services to students who are not prepared for college and who are unlikely to function in the workplace) is not sustainable in the current environment. This isn't a CCI issue, either. The faulty business model predates the CCI acquisition.

Whoever posted about the 401 K not being relevant must not have been contributing and getting the employer match. Under old Heald it was 6%. CCI lowered it to 4 and now took it away. That is a pay cut dictated by CCI. I want it back!!!

29582 - you clearly don't understand the market Heald serves. Admissions will always need to recruit (vs. gate keep). That's a good thing and why the staff is so proud of the lives that we've changed for the better.

RIP Anna. You were a treasure and your impact is still felt today.

Though we can't bring Anna Womack back, we could hire one person to help provide leadership and training for faculty. The current absence of this role speaks, sadly, to priorities.

If you figure out how to bring Anna back, you won't need to work at Heald any longer. You would know how to ressurect someone from the dead.

Bring back Anna Womack!

You are aiming way too low here. The goal should be to make Heald a college students want to attend, rather than one they have to be convinced to attend. The admissions department should be gatekeeping, not recruiting. If we can get to that point, everything else will fall into place.

1) Stop admitting people who have zero aptitude for their major. They will never place even if they manage to complete the prgram, they are a complete distraction in class.

2) Drop the students on day one who do not attend. When I was in college, that was policy. At minimum by end of week one. Not week 10 of 11. instructors don't need that shit. Our job is to educate. Not wipe the asses of f***tards that can't get their shit together. See above also.

3) Pay the adjuncts more. 20 students in a class. Adjunct pay is roughly 1/2 of one student tuition for one class. Absurd given #1 and #2 above.

4) biweekly orgies. Talking to you Concord.

Isn't the 401K administered by Prudential, and isn't it mostly funds, not COCO stock? I don't think 401k is a valid thing to argue about.

Stockton campus is not "lean". We have almost the same support staff we had for twice the student body. Can't make money like that. I want my 401K match back and tuition to be lowered to be competitive with schools like DeVry and Humphrey's.

Lower tuition!
