Q: My school administrator gave my friend community service for acting up can she legally do that to him ?
A: This has already happened and you are asking if it can happen, right? It is not a basic question at all, and requires that one know the school rules for that school.
A: The school administrator's authority to do that may be suspect, though particularly if we are talking about a college they may have such power. More importantly, contemplate the alternative. If the "acting up" is potential illegal, community service for your school administrator is a far more favorable outcome than going to court on a criminal charge.
