The population of students on college campuses diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is rapidly increasing. This article provides current information regarding the definition and diagnosis of ADD in adults and can assist counselors, advisors, faculty, student affairs administrators, and disability support staff with the determination of appropriate academic accommodations and support services, as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Recommendations for networking with faculty and devising study strategies for students are proposed.

Little has been written about the roles and functions of student affairs administrators during the civil rights era. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine how the civil rights era influenced the student affairs profession, paying particular attention to the roles played by student affairs administrators in relation to students, other administrators, and the community. A secondary analysis was conducted based on interviews with 18 student affairs professionals who served on a variety of college campuses during the civil rights era, primarily from the 1950s through the 1970s. Our findings suggest that these administrators took on roles such as educator, advocate, mediator, initiator, and change agent in order to effectively and efficiently resolve issues that arose on their campuses as a result of the civil rights era and the student protest movement.
