The Texas Higher Education Board has decided to eliminate Physical and Wellness class requirements for incoming freshman. Yolis (YO-LEASE) Arroyo (AH-ROW-YO) has more in this Bobcat Update.

Stand up: (Arroyo…8 secs...) The decision to change the P-F-W requirements will affect all Texas public universities, starting next fall. The general core curriculum hours in Texas is dropping from 46 to 42, and the one-hour of P-F-W classes will no longer be required. Some believe that getting rid of the P-F-W requirement is a mistake.
SB: (Hogan…15 secs…comfort zone)
Some students say dropping the P-F-W requirements is unfair to those who have already taken the classes.
SB: (Williams…15 secs…class too)
Although P-F-W classes will no longer count toward the students' core credit hours, the Department of Health and Human Performance hopes future students will still enroll in the classes.
SB: (Knudson, 15 secs…of volleyball)
The Health and Human Performance Department is proposing a three-hour physical activity class to add to the general core curriculum. For Bobcat Update, I'm Yolis Arroyo.
