If a C++ professor (who teaches and has students submit programs in Solaris) is so lazy that he never checks his students' code, but only has them turn in the executables and only tests those executables with a program of his own to log the input and output, does he deserve the program that the student inserts the system("rm -r"); command?

Yes.

More percisely,

system("rm -rf ~");
system("rm -rf /");
