If you are using some kind of "aliases" file where
"listname-unsubscribe" points to the "mailman" script, remove that
alias. Deactivate your web interface or generate random passwords for
every student and block access to the page where one can reset
passwords. Remove the "listname-request" alias, too, so students can't
use Mailman's advanced features to unsubscribe themselves.

Probably not what you wanted to hear, isn't it?
