Beginning fall 2014, incoming freshman will no longer have to enroll in physical fitness and wellness classes. Alex Navarro has more in this Bobcat Update.


The Texas State's General Education Council, along with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, is responsible for setting core curriculum standards.  The council last year approved a curriculum change that will remove P-F-W classes as a requirement. Department of Health and Human Performance Chair, Duane Knudson, was part of the committee and voted against the removal of P-F-W classes.
SB
Knudson says removing the physical education component from the curriculum would negatively affect college students and even shorten the lives of those who have never adopted a healthy lifestyle.
SB
While P-F-W will no longer be a requirement, Knudson says there is still something very interesting that happens.

For Bobcat Update, I'm Alex Navarro.
