Abuse in higher education is more common than many people realize—and far more hidden than it should be.

In this episode, we sit down with Julie Cruse, advocate, founder of AcademicAbuse.com, and author of the upcoming memoir The Burn List, to discuss her experience surviving years of exploitation across multiple universities. Together, we explore abuse of power in academic institutions, the barriers survivors face when reporting misconduct, and the changes needed to create greater accountability and protection for students and faculty.
