Want to Get Rid of a Truckload of College Students? Try This!

Students at Holy Family University will risk expulsion from school if they violate new parking rules that allow for the building of a new dormitory, business school and parking garage.
The university’s plan to build a five-story building to house 350 students, expand its student center by 80,000 square feet, and build a 4-story parking garage and business school should clear City Council’s Rules Committee today (Monday) and is expected to pass the full council in two weeks.
To ease the concerns of its neighbors in Northeast Philadelphia, the university agreed to a strict parking policy. Councilman Brian J. O’Neill said students parking on residential streets will be fined $100 the first time; the second time they will be booted and fined $250; and the third time they will be expelled from Holy Family.
We're thinking that could cut enrollment in half.

Or, they could just get PhillyCarShare for their students as a number of local colleges and universities have done.
