Whether Aaron's actions were morally wrong is irrelevant to a discussion of the morality of MIT's response to them?

Yes? Particularly if I am not making the claim that Aaron's actions were not morally wrong? It is just plain off topic.

How does one make the claim that a response to an action was disproportionate, without implicitly claiming that the action that precipitated it was a lesser evil?

Either way, I don't think either of us is ever going to convince the other of anything on that score, so it's probably best to agree to disagree on it.
