I've been asked to prevent the students from un-subscribing. Is there
a way to do that in any version of mailman? And/or any other
convenient mechanism? The list is a bit unwieldy for plain email
aliases.
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?

Another possible choice is to have the list membership synced from an external source regularly. If this is on a cron job that
runs periodically, then any attempted self-removal would always only be temporary (which may be good enough in practice).
good luck,
