You're again making a wrong all or nothing assumption. In the faculty
use case, there is no real danger for the teacher to fully trust the
system administrator of the faculty.

Of course, then a student could bribe that admin with pizzas and beer,
but I was not considering using the computer to address this specific
risk.
