does anyone have any factual information regarding the sale of CA schools, Heald in particular? Personal opinions bashing Heald are not necessary or wanted.

Exactly 992, thank you. @830, you can talk about subsets and supersets and personally attack me all day, but the fact remains that we are all still employed by CCI regardless if we identify with Heald, Everest, or Wyotech.
I can "interchangeably" say that I am an employee of CCi or Heald.
I have been reading through this thread and there are some real asses on this board. It seems like no one is nice to each other.
834 - wow, you really told him!
How about you just stop talking.
54815: Heald is a subset of CCi, and CCi is a superset of Heald. If you can't understand basic logic, don't just assign words like "interchangeable" to things. Just think before you post. A lot of the folks who come on here are brighter and better educated than you.
789, I think you are making a lot of assumptions here as to who is posting what. All I said was that CCI owns Heald so we are all CCI employees. No need to bite my head off.
54776 - Wow, way to get it backwards! You need to work on your reading comprehension. So read my post 572, your response 694, my post 570, and your response 776. Please try to follow along, it's not that damned hard! Oh God, let me guess...you're one of the Heald ones, aren't you? Well, you're proving my point and really living up to your reputation. We won't miss you guys - you've been nothing but whining dead weight!
753 - CCI owns Heald so we all technically work for CCI. The terms are interchangeable in this context.
570: Apparently YOU don't work for CCI, or you would know that "CCi" and "Heald" are not interchangeable terms. I'm in Florida and nowhere near any Heald, but I assure you that I have a lot of connections and Heald is a four letter word in our industry.
@572: it means you're being a silly-ass troll. You admittedly don't work for CCI but yet you feel it's ok to say the things you did in your post bashing us. Not cool my friend, not cool.
54655: no...doesn't sound like you're trying too hard at all. And those two definitely came off as more crazy than you. LOL? Here you go: http://www.allacronyms.com/LOL/Lame_Old_Loser (yes, we got together and changed the meaning just for you)
613 & 592....you 2 are the reason I come on here.....I knew I could get someone to say something crazy like you 2 did! lol thanks for the laugh....keep them coming and for the record....I DO HAVE A JOB AT ANOTHER FOR PROFIT SCHOOL HERE IN ATL! HA HA! LOL
592: I choose to believe that 585 is a concerned employee, just like us. I refuse to believe that there is anyone as pathetic as this guy/gal makes him/herself out to be.
Anonymous54585: Uh, no. A normal person doesn't just keep trolling a social media site for people who work at a company that they don't work for. And I don't believe you have a job at all, much less one that gives you the latitude to do what you want all day. I'm not sure what possible point your post could have been intended to have, but you really ought to consider changing your life.
I don't even work for Corinthian...never have so I just come on here to read you guys posts while bored at work and you guys are a bunch of nut jobs! lol But hey it keeps me here laughing so please keep up the rants, getting smart with people who ask questions and keep bashing the owners I think its funny as hell! lol
570: I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean/imply. I don't know anyone from Heald and have never vistied a campus, but I HAVE been in the industry for 20 years and have good friends at CEC, DeVry, Apollo, EDMD, etc, etc. I've been calling around to find out if any of them have seen corporate activity that might indicate an interest in buying any CCi schools. The response is usually laughter when I ask about Heald. I don't know if your reputation is deserved, but it is most undoubtedly how you're seen within the career college community. Good luck to you!
@550, what's your problem, do you need a hug or something?
Sorry, Heald is the red-headed stepchild of CCi. WyoTech and Everest have some potential, but Heald has always been a big pain in the tush and nobody but a fool would purchase it. CCi got lucky with ECMC being so naive. Any other potential buyers are likely to have industry experience and know that Heald instructors and staff have a reputation for being lazy, entitled, slow-witted rejects. Not that all of you are, but that IS your reputation and I'm sure there's some truth to it.
@483- Sure thing!
457: thanks again for sharing your perspective.
As expected: If I posted, "Personal opinions bashing Heald are not necessary or wanted," the results would be "as expected."
Thanks 408. I'll be sure to do that.
OP: go post on the Heald layoff board. They don't know anymore than those here, but they will be more tolerant of your myopic, sophomoric approach.
Thanks 406 but I don't remember asking for your opinion? Insult me as much as you want to on an anonymous board if it makes you feel more like a man. I asked a legitimate question as for occasionally someone one here actually has some real information, unlike busters like you that have to attack others to make yourself feel more like a man. I feel sorry for you if you are truly this unhappy. It's a shame.
Ask a stupid question...get a pile of smart ass replies. Nobody here knows anything, so why solicit answers to a question that you know cannot be answered right now?. You're a dumbass, in my opinion.
390: thanks for sharing your opinion with us. Does it make you feel more like a man to personally attack me? Are you that unhappy that the only way you can feel better about yourself is to tear me down? Go ahead if it makes you feel better, but I will stand up to you every time. I don't tolerate bullies well.
385, you are right I have absolutely no interest in reading posts that bash Heald. Peoples jut love to express their personal opinions as fact. If that makes me the internet police then so be it. You have a really bad attitude by the way.
390 - that's low
Information posted by 377 reflects my understanding. And if profitability is 90m per year, CCI has recouped their investment and then some.
Hey OP - here is an empirically proven fact for you: Heald is a piece of junk and a colossal liability, why would anyone want to buy it? Here is another fact for you: you are a piece of junk as well, and there is no rant that you might be able to construct here that will change that. Look at the mirror, what can you see, a piece of worthless junk.
Heald expected to close shortly after the ECMC purchase of Everest Plus.
OP/384: Who appointed you the internet police? You want to make the rules? Start your own damn board. What makes you think anyone here will have rock solid info? CCI is still a SEC regulated public info. Factual info will be released in accordance with those guidelines. Everything else is personal opinion which, apparently, is of no interest to you.
What part of the last sentence of my original post do you f**kers have trouble understanding! While you're entitled to your opinions, it would be better if you just stopped talking. If you choose to bash Heald go do it in another thread.
My opinion is that Heald has brought CCi down, they deserve to collapse
They were still in discussions with three different buyers, and even with drastically reduced enrollments the chain is still turning a profit. Honestly, with the amount of money Heald makes (90 million NET profit last year) I expect a buyout even without the release of liability.
Or we could go into teach out or even instant bankruptcy next month. Who knows??
My personal opinion is that purchasing Heald was a waste of $400M.
In my opinion heald was destroyed by CCI and probably deserves its fate. And you expect to get some new, useful knowledge here?
Heald is a horrible school
