Of course it is--they own the parent directory. They can't *change* it, but they can delete it. It's the old /usr/tmp problem; that's why they overloaded the sticky bit ("t") to prevent it in temp directories, but that would be a bad thing to do on a home directory.
Alrighty then... I've learned at least one thing today in that case.
