Even as campus climate generally improves for LGBTQ students, which problem often persists?

• A. Lack of technology access
• B. Harassment and discrimination
• C. Excessive financial aid
• D. Overcrowded classes

Answer: (B)

Even when campus climate improves for LGBTQ students, harassment and discrimination often remains a persistent issue. Policies, training, and visible support help reduce outright hostility, but bias, microaggressions, and harmful behavior can linger in everyday interactions, on social media, or in reactions from peers, staff, or administrators. Students may fear reporting or retaliation, so these hostile experiences continue to affect their sense of safety, belonging, and academic participation.

Other issues like access to technology, financial aid, or overcrowded classes affect many students regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, so they don’t specifically capture the ongoing, equity-focused challenge described here.
