My college is the same. If an infected computer is detected on the campus net, that specific network port is shut off until you can prove you've removed the worm. Auxiliary to this is requiring every computer on campus to have up-to-date virus software, including linux boxes! (This might go to show the level of competency in the Computer Center.) Computers not running a personally purchased copy of AV software will also be disconnected. I personally find this approach much to harsh. I have one wintel machine, one i386/bsd box, an Apple iBook, and a Dual G4. I am not about to go buy three/four separate licenses to cover these machines. Especially considering only the wintel box poses a (arguably) significant threat.
