What would "the right thing" be exactly? Nor enforcing their own rules, eating the costs of a student fucking up (when they didn't have to) and gaining the enmity of a software vendor?

They probably *should( eat the costs. If your employee breaks your machinery, well, fire him and move on.

As someone who is hardly the student's best friend on this thread, I'm skeptical they could really stick him with the 30K bill, and even more skeptical that they could get any of it from him, since he is judgment-proof.

Do they have a legal option other than eating the costs of the student messing up? Currently they are just bullying the student.
