The big question is: Why did the powers that be in the university not know that the activity was illegal, and could possibly be a federal offense if the students went outside the campus or actually got into a live business?

I'd be for getting the professor turned into the feds and make a poster boy of him.
I totally agree, the professor (even though it was a computer security course) should not have even thought about giving an assignment like this...
