I agree with the idea, but I can't see it standing up against a discrimination lawsuit.

Especially if the obese students have to pay more for their education (in the form of 3 more credits). I see this becoming a required course for everyone regardless of their BMI.

You could also make an argument about what right the school has to my personal health info, in this case my BMI.

- If there was a medical reason for their obesity, would they have a claim under ADA to be exempted from the requirement? -- nm - znufrii Nov 30, 09:33 1
