Lincoln University in Pennsylvania may not let students graduate if they are too fat to pass a BMI test.

At Lincoln University these students were accountable to a mandatory “Fitness for Life” program that measured their BMI (body mass index) and aimed to teach them about fitness and healthy diet, and help with weight loss programs if their BMI was above 30. But some students failed to get their BMI below 30 before they were ready to graduate.

Not letting them get their degree sees excessive, but we need to keep innovating when it comes to helping our kids get healthy and fit, and overcome obesity. This program should be studied to see how it can be adapted to work better, perhaps, and help students without being to divisive.
