four named cells for the campus ibis and the outdoor-furniture rule they now govern
A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities has the grounds duty officer classify every white ibis at eight food-court courtyards into four named cells --- Kept, Raiders, Guests, Lifters --- and withholds outdoor-furniture refresh from any school whose Lifter count exceeds its Raider count for two consecutive teaching weeks. Tray-dumping before the count recodes the cells without reducing the birds; the rule is now standing practice.
