"Joke of a post" is inappropiate.
You are saying what perhaps ought to happen (and that's a matter of debate), and I am saying what has happened, I was talking of a past event that happened as described. A professor committed an act of misconduct, and his students suffered for it. Well, it's happening again.
That's what happens in a reputation-based environment and it's happening again here. We hope the University of Minnesota offers support to the affected students.

Yeah it's utter nonsense. This isn't comparable to plagiarism, and even if it were your story is about a stupid situation just like this one, where innocent, unrelated parties were associated with something they had nothing to do with. That you're somehow saying that this is justified or normal is absurd - we should accuse all students of the university of malice? Everyone tangentially related is guilty? Ridiculous, not even worth arguing against.
The university already apologized. Where is Greg's apology? Where is Greg's retraction for falsely accusing Adity?
I'm familiar with a case where a faculty member engaged in a case of autoplagiarism and submitted the same paper to two high-profile journals. His graduate students had trouble publishing in reputable journals for years after, and he also earned himself a ban from the national funding agency.
For that kind of breach of trust retribution is savage, and that's why you don't engage in it to begin with.
