Maybe the reasoning was this...?

They have two brains so they're two students learning.

They have one body so it's just one working

That’s pretty much it. They’re legally two people and can get certified for things independently. They both have a driver’s license for example. However, as teachers they can only teach one class at a time. It’s all just the nature of their problem. Though I will say it seems like the college probably could have worked with them a little bit given their unique situation.

With them legally being two people, what would happen if one commits like wire fraud or something. You can't send the innocent one to jail too.

Their situation definitely does lend itself to some very interesting questions. I’m not sure what would happen in practice, but I suspect the other twin would get charged as a coconspirator.

One of them controls the left leg and arm, the other the right leg and arm. It’d be literally impossible to commit a crime like that without the other being complicit.

You've obviously never met the one-armed man- he killed my wife. 😔
