“Oral Roberts University has made it mandatory for all incoming students to wear Fitbits.
The college has a fitness requirement as part of what it calls a “Whole Person Education.” Wearable technology is an update to its previous tracking method of recording activity in a fitness journal, according a press release by the school, and allows for precise logging so that students can be graded more accurately. ORU’s academic policies state that students who don’t make “satisfactory progress in physical fitness” will have to continue enrolling in physical education courses until they do.
This new program is mandatory for all incoming freshmen, and allows older students to opt in. The only complaint that the college has received has been about Fitbit’s FIT -7.09% $150 price tag, according to the Washington Post.”
