I disagree. The term as Glenn used it implies the involvement of a
governmental body-the court system. This wasn't the case here. The initial
press report used imprecise language, which led to confusion on this issue.
We now know that there was no such court system involvement, so implying
otherwise is misleading.
Yeah, so the student was being coerced by an authority to which he or his
parents or somebody had spent a good many thousands of bucks to have him
tutored, into doing community service, probably because of that cow in the
library, or on the roof of the engineering building or wherever. At least
it wasn't a rooster in Clark Park!
this program is described on ucd's website, on center city
district's website and on penn's website [see below].
the court involved is the philadelphia community court, a
special court created jointly by the philadelphia municipal
court and center city district. it's located at 1401 arch
street.
this court, not penn, hears the cases and hands out
sentences to offenders (students and non-students). these
sentences are for offenses that occur in university city
district and the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 17th, and 23rd police
districts in center city.
