Your first point is well made; Ex Corde Ecclesiae establishes the obligation to correct false theology (although the case is being made that the theology represented the alleged heretic’s sincere and reasonable understanding of Vatican II’s own claims.
But your second point underscores why this story is alarming to me even though I am not a Capital-T Traditionalist: Why no interdict of DePaul, Georgetown or Trinity?
(I’m not sure why you pick on Marymount: are you from Northern Virginia? For all I know the theology classes might be terrible, but as a former grad student there, the priests doing the masses and confession are excellent ... enough so I continued to attend mass and confess there on occasion for years after I was finished.)

Two points on this:
1) A comment made on some blog regarding this (may have been Fr. Z’s combox, but don’t remember 100%) is that you expect more from an elder son than from a younger son — that is that a place that actually claims to be traditional would really adhere to tradition. Reminder St. Ignatius’ quote about adhering to the Bishop? What could be more traditional than that?
2) There are a lot of Marymounts out there. See this piece: https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?recnum=6813 — though I haven’t heard anything good about the one located in Ballston, the one listed in the above piece is what I was talking about.
