College's Too Fat to Graduate rule under fire.

[SydneyK]

I had typed a response to all this and lost it. Sooooo... in a nutshell:

I have to agree with KSigRC on this. Having below 30 BMI = testing out, IMO. Sure, BMI may not be the best test, but it's black & white and easy to figure. I can see why they chose BMI as the determining factor.

Regarding pbear's and 33girl's statements about knowledge, I don't think knowledge is always enough. And I think that's consistent with the ultimate goal of institutions of higher learning. Having knowledge about healthy lifestyles isn't enough to keep you from being obese. It'd be like a smoker telling an insurance company that his premiums should be that of a non-smoker's since he knows the dangers of smoking. Knowledge needs to be put into action if it's really to mean anything.
