School Rules Too Fat to Leave
I wonder if the university also has a graduation policy for students using drugs, eating unhealthy, drinking too much, tanning too much, drinking pop, etc etc.

I agree that while the school
I agree that while the school is trying to look after the students´ health maybe they should target not only obesity but also other issues.
Having a body mass index of 30 is extremely hazardous not only to your body but also to your mental health. The school concerns are legitimate. Good habits should be taught at a young age. The school´s concerns should reflect the society´s concerns. In the long run those students will thank their high school teachers for taking care of them and worrying about their health at the right time.

Discrimination Much?
While it certainly isn't good that a school is making ONLY those with a BMI of 30 or higher to take a fitness class before graduating instead of requiring EVERYONE to do so, this school's rule might not even accomplish what the school is supposedly intending, which is to get the larger people to slim down. And here lies the problem: exercise is definitely useful to helping people maintain good health, but the BMI isn't a very good tool in ascertaining if people are out of shape. Thus, some people who are in shape, or at least are pretty close to being in shape, might be required to stay an extra semester at school because a BMI ranking falsely labeled them out-of-shape. So what's going on? What's going on is that the school is enforcing compulsory gym class--and perhaps against people to which the school never intended. What should be going on? Well, a start would be either to make everyone take College PE 101, or make no one take it. And if it's the latter, a little education for staying in shape wouldn't hurt.

No school should target
No school should target anyone, however it isn't a bad idea to have ALL graduates take a nutrition class just like they have to take Comp100.

I would hate to be a student there
Does a school have the right to do this? Maybe people are happy with who they are regardless! I don't believe a university has to right to target "obese" people.
