The thing is the PE requirment applies to everyone unless you have an exemption. this course requirement only applied if you were of certain characterstics. I see that as a major distinction. I just don't like singling out one type of student for this course. In all likelihood, many of those near the BMI number will in time exceed it, and could use a well run education program on exercise and eating. So to me if you require such a course apply the requirement to everyone, as is done in the California undergrad systems.
