REVOKED?

Last year, government officials often said that the visa-revoked students were pro-Palestinian activists. But from what we could gather from our university, none of the students affected at Fordham were protesters. Even so, students and faculty often told us that to truly understand the Spring, we have to think back to 2024, when student protesters were arrested at the Lincoln Center campus, in order to make sense of this crisis.Visit our website for more info: https://www.revokedpodcast.org/listen/chapter-2

On April 4, 2025, Fordham informed the community that a student’s visa had been “revoked.”But that wasn’t exactly right.Just about a year later, we’re delivering a previously-unreported inside look at Fordham university on the day of the crisis. How did students react in the moment? What is a tiger team? And if this wasn’t a revocation, then what was it?Visit our website for more info: www.revokedpodcast.org

Listen to this before you dive into our first chapter!We think there’s a couple things we need to clarify before we begin this story. We want to be honest about our process and our sources, so that you can judge for yourself if we’re worth trusting. Also: We didn’t use AI to write this! The scripts, art, structure, music, all 100% human.And if we get something wrong, we want to update our story to get it right. So, contact us if you’d like to request a correction: [email protected]

In the spring of 2025, the Trump administration wasn’t just revoking student visas. REVOKED? is a new investigative audio documentary written and produced by four independent student journalists. The limited series podcast takes listeners through the turmoil over student visa statuses at Fordham University in New York City — and how that series of events still shapes campus life today. Stay tuned for the first chapter, coming soon.[Edit Notice: April 17, 2026] We’ve made a staffing change, and so we’re updating the trailer to reflect that.
