The purpose of this rule, as Kaufman acknowledges, is to preserve the residential nature of the community. It does not forbid all exchanges of money in a student's residence (students are allowed to sell their TVs and futons). Whether this rule should apply depends on whether their drug dealing was of a scale that was disruptive, or if they were selling to only a close circle of friends and not for profit.

...could quickly diversify and fill all available ecological niches. Others, however, believe that in the surviving organisms, the genetic software that controls early development had become too inflexible to create new life-forms after the Permian extinction. The intricate networks of developmental genes were not so rigid as to forbid elaborate tinkering with details; otherwise, marvels like winged flight and the human brain could never have arisen. But very early on, some developmental biologists believe, the linkages between multiple genes made it difficult to change important features without lethal effect. "There must be limits to change," says Indiana University developmental...
