Too fat to graduate college?

PC'ness rears its ugly head again.

What exactly is the "PC'ness" in this?

Actually, the politically correct way to go about it would be to state that all people should be accepted as they are, regardless of their weight. Fat chicks need lovin' too, no?

Nice try though.

On the other side of the coin, with the exception of the class that entered in 2006 when they started the campaign, and therefore might have a valid reason to argue it, any student entering in subsequent years would have (or should have) been informed of the BMI policy. If he or she didn't like it then they shopuld not have applied there. If he or she got fat there after they enrolled, don't badmouth it and say there's something wrong with the policy, or like many will do these days, use the , "Oh I didn't know it applied to me" excuse. Instead say, "S#!&, I am fat, thanks for helping me deal with it."
I graduated from a small school in PA that like many have a community service requirement prior to graduating. My fraternity was assigned the State School. I bitched and moaned and when I finally got involved in it, it turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences I had in my four years of college. I would strongly disagree with anyone who said college should just be about academics and I think that goes for high school, middle school and elementary schools, also.
