  Because many universities are appropriately concerned about the misuse of stimulant medications, they won't let them be prescribed by student health services and some student health services won't diagnose ADHD.  That is a mistake and further stigmatizes the disorder.  There are other ways to deal with misuse of stimulants.  For example, by educating incoming freshman about this issue and adding it to their code of conduct.
  
  Another sometime controversial issue is the degree to which the University should allow for accommodations, especially for high performing people with ADHD.  We allow wheelchair ramps for those that need it.  Providing accommodations should not be an issue for any disorder.
