What review process catches 100% garbage? It's a mechanism to catch 99% of garbage -- otherwise Linux kernel would have no bugs.

I'm not sure a more formal scrutiny process will bring about better results, I think it would be reasonable to see if the university ban is sufficient to discourage similar behavior in the future.
