(a) This is not easy, because it is a university.
(b) It is inadvisable, because the other sysadmin is a colleague and has
    the same employer.

I might do it that way, but would probably also carpet student A for
having a .rhosts file. 

I think student A would be best cutting his/her losses and hoping admin XX
doesn't have his/her account pulled on machine XX. You think the
University is going to push charges against itself? The *student* has no
rights in this case, because all resources used belong to the
university.
