Heald Colleges Closing

California's community colleges are the only way to fly!

It seems that the day for community colleges being held in higher esteem is finally here. After reviewing this:
"On April 14, 2015, the Department of Education announced that following a comprehensive review, it had confirmed hundreds of cases of misrepresentation of job placement rates to current and prospective students in Corinthian Colleges' Heald College system and informed the company of its intentions to impose a $30 million fine for misleading consumers. In addition, it notified Corinthian of its intentions to deny the re-certification applications of Heald College's Salinas and Stockton (CA) campuses. The announcement effectively halted enrollment across Heald's 14 existing campuses."

Many of us have strongly suspected that those TV ads were false. And they appeared to target students who felt that they had no other alternatives.
There are stories of students who have gone to those schools, just to find that they were robbed. They are now going to their local community colleges, gaining the skills and finding the employment they were seeking.
To our community college sites, keep up the good work!


(Please note that we will be removing the above schools from our schools database asap.)
