A Canadian university is under fire after it removed the weight scale at its campus gym last week.
Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, says the decision is “in keeping with current fitness and social trends,” according to a sign posted where the scale used to stand, according to the campus newspaper, The Charlatan.
Bruce Marshall, manager of health and wellness at the gym, said focusing only on weight can have a negative impact. […]
But some students disagree with removing the scale. Marko Miljusevic, a second-year computer science student, said in a Facebook message that students “can’t handle the number that shows up on the scale, then don’t step on it,” the Charlatan reported. …

Oh noes. Those poor “Gravity Challenged” students.

That was the U. of Ottawa. Carleton is Ottawa's other university in Ottawa. They (usually the student union) tends to beclown itself every so often. About ten years ago, they decided to declare war on the campus pro-life club. Then they banned the annual Shinerama charity fundraiser for cystic fibrosis, claiming that since it affected primarily white men, it wasn't diverse enough. And just a few years ago, a candidate for the student governnent who ran on a platform of inclusivity and tolerance took it upon himself to vandalize a conservative club's free-speech wall because it was Pride Week and he didn't like what he thought someone MIGHT write on it about gays.
You couldn't make me attend there.
