Abstract
The purpose of this study is to present a comprehensive picture of the student affairs scholarship published in the NASPA Journal from 1967 to 1996 that focused on racial and ethnic topics. A thematic analysis suggested the published articles moved from themes of concern and assessment to themes of ethnic and racial minority students as multi-dimensional rather than a population in need of adjustment, and campus environmental change as a way to support a more racially and ethnically diverse student body. While the scholarship addressed racial and ethnic topics, the writings most often focused on concerns related to the Black student. Few articles related to Native American, Hispanic or Latino, and Asian groups. Encouragement by all levels of the profession, including associations, training programs, and journals for additional scholarship in these underrepresented areas is recommended, including using the historical strategy of the special issues format.
