A university-wide ban helps in converting the issue into an internal issue of that university. The university officials will have to figure out what went wrong and rectify.

Probably not because nobody else at the university is affected, and probably won't be for a dozen more years when someone else happens to get interested in something. Even in CS there are a ton of legitimate projects to work on, so a ban on just one common one isn't going to be noticed without more attention.
Note that I suspect enough people have gotten notice by the press now.
