I have a new web-admin and he mistakenly ran chmod -r 755 /etc to try and disallow our shell users from reading any other files. As a result, SSH on our server does not work. How can we fix this?

You need to make the ssh server keys only readable by root again:

chmod 600 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*_key

may do the job
