WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Education Department says it will fine Heald College $30 million, alleging the Corinthian Colleges subsidiary had engaged in egregious misconduct and misled students.<\/p>\n
Corinthian, a massive for-profit educational institution, collapsed last summer amid a cash shortage and fraud allegations.<\/p>\n
The department alleged that Heald, based in San Francisco, had shown a pattern of falsifying post-graduation employment data. In one instance, the department said, the company’s Honolulu campus declared that a graduate had found work in her chosen field of accounting \u2014 even though administrators knew she was working at Taco Bell.<\/p>\n
Corinthian spokesman Joe Hixson called the allegations “highly questionable.”<\/p>\n
The penalty may not be collected. Corinthian’s once billion-dollar stock is virtually worthless, and the company faces numerous legal claims.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
