Fit to a fault on campuses

This is an interesting article. I suppose it was only a matter of time before the pendulum swung the other direction.

My context and perspective is obvious, so it should come as no surprise that I very much disagree with this approach.

In my view, it is the philosophy that young adults need their habits policed that bothers me, it's another instance of campus administration over-reaching with somewhat misguided objectives.

Some other interesting observations:

Notice that one of the administrators mentions that the physical ideal is becoming smaller and thinner; implicit in that is that the trend may somehow be linked with negative obessesive compulsive disorders.

Could it be that our society is actually raising healthier teenagers who then get to a college campus more thin and fit than in the past?

Needless to say, I was not impressed with some of those remarks.
