Edifi, a name constructed from "education" and "finance", was a college financial aid services company located in Albany, New York. Its legal name was CFAS (College Financial Aid Systems. It assisted with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).[1]
Client dissatisfaction
[edit]
Edifi was the subject of complaints filed with Better Business Bureaus by parents who claimed they were misled as to the benefits they would receive from the company. The company's Chief Operating Officer John Braat claimed it had "thousands and thousands" of happy clikents[1][2]
Employee lawsuits
[edit]There was also a lawsuit by an employee, Huda Saaidi, who alleged discrimination and a hostile work environment.[3][4] Another employee, Steve d'Emilia, successfully appealed a discharge for cause with the New York State Bureau of Unemployment Compensation (meaning that he was entitled to unemployment compensation).
