1) The hunters do stop the threats, but they haven't prevented them.  The groups who are behind this are still at large, and there is no clear progress brought into apprehending these criminals.  The gangs themselves were bad enough, and now the White Fang is slipping in entire fleets of VTOLs into the city borders!  Sure the hunters were there to stop them, but this is right next to where these people live.  Beacon is responsible for dealing with terrorist attacks like this at the very least, and that the White Fang got anywhere near that harbor is a massive strike against their creditability.  Next time they might not be after shipping crates.  Next time they might roam the streets and gun down civilians in their sleep.

2) Who said Cinder was doing it without their permission?  In order to participate she and her team would have to be proper students, which means taking the entrance exam, which Ozpin and Glenda personally oversee.  Now granted, Glenda might have seen Cinder in the plane, but perhaps it was covered in shadow like it was for the audience.  Now this goes under the assumption that Ozpin and Glenda don't know Cinder of course, but it hasn't been stated, and is still in the realm of possibility.
