This was approved by the university ethics board so if trust of the university is by part because the actions of the students need to pass an ethics bar it makes sense to remove that trust until the ethics committee has shown that they have improved.

The ethics board is most likely not at fault here. They were simply lied to, if we take Lu's paper serious. I would just expell the 3 malicious actors here, the 2 students and the Prof who approved it. I don't see any fault in Wang yet.
The damage is not that big. Only 4 committers to linux in the last decade, 2 of them, the students, with malicious backdoors, the Prof not with bad code but bad ethics, and the 4th, the Ass Prof did good patches and already left them.
