Higher education hides a lot. This podcast doesn’t.

The Academic Verdict is your daily dispatch on academic abuse — exposing patterns of retaliation, racism, harassment, and institutional injustice across colleges and universities. Hosted by whistleblower and memoirist Julie Cruse, this short-form podcast draws from live data and real stories collected at AcademicAbuse.com.

Whether it’s breaking news, Title IX failures, or buried lawsuits, we connect the dots and name what universities won’t.


If you’re a student, staffer, professor, and/or survivor — this is your podcast.
