Spam is sent directly from virus-infected student computers,Got any numbers to back up the claim that virus-infected student computers are anywhere near the problem that virus-infected student's-parents computers are? (I'm not saying universities are perfect - we have to nuke several users a day because their accounts or machines fall under enemy control. But I see a lot of people repeating the meme without any numbers to back it up)
Without going into comparisons between resnets and the world at large, I will say that the resnet problem has gotten a *lot* better over the past couple of years; it used to be that every new semester saw a huge uptick in botted resnet hosts, but we haven't seen anything like that for two years or so.
