Lincoln University students upset about fitness requirement

Some Pennsylvania college students are upset that their school is requiring those who are overweight to take a fitness class in order to graduate.
The mandate at Lincoln University has raised the eyebrows of some legal scholars, who wonder if it creates privacy and discrimination issues.
Officials at historically black Lincoln said Friday that the school is simply concerned with students’ health. They say obesity and diabetes are problems especially in the African-American community.
This year’s senior class is the first to be affected by the requirement. Officials say about 80 students, or 16 percent, have not yet met the mandate.
Lincoln serves approximately 2,000 undergraduates on a campus 45 miles southwest of Philadelphia.
