Tenure, Not Design, Predicts Pigeon-Deterrence Maturity Across Forty-One Campus Courtyards
A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities finds that a rostered courtyard duty officer's tenure, not courtyard hardware or foot traffic, best predicts a courtyard's attained level on the University's five-level Pigeon Deterrence Maturity Model, and that reassigning the officers of underperforming courtyards under the model's own remediation rule left those courtyards' scores lower rather than higher two terms on.
