I stand corrected. Thanks--this was not what I'd thought it was--given that
the folks in question were students, and doing the public service for a
Penn-associated agency. I don't think that it changes my feelings about the
incident that is the base of this long drawn out set of exchanges, though.
the thing to consider in all this is that we do not know,
publicly (at least, from the reports of the daily news, the
dp, the ucity review) whether the students committed an
infraction as students on penn's campus (the rooster/library
theory) or as 'citizens' in university city district (the
loud party in the neighborhood theory).
but in either case, the university city district becomes a
zone in which persons committing minor infractions can be
heard and sentenced by a special court created jointly by
ccd and municipal court, and offenders serve out their
sentences by performing services for ucd/ccd. how much of
all this has the whiff of governance, of conflict of
interest, I leave others to judge!
