Leelila Strogov — CEO of AtomicMind, an education technology company that prepares students for college admissions — told the Current that anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment is swaying students from attending college in states they perceive to be threatening. Strogov she's never seen fear among LGBTQ+ students at such a high level.
"I think it's the worst I've seen in terms of ... these categorical proclamations of, 'I will not consider a school in any of these states,'" said Strogov, a 17-year industry veteran. "The playing field just keeps getting narrower, and now it just seems more narrow than ever — which schools and which states would even be remotely under consideration [for LGBTQ+ students]."
