You do realize that federal CYA requirements prohibit them from allowing just anybody to use it. Even city-wide wireless would require that you have registered to use it so that if your account is seen abusing it, action may be taken to disable it or track back to you.
A larger organization (large enough to wire a city) can't get away with an open access point like a little coffee shop can. If they do, who knows what will be done with it. The university's decision to limit access to people they can track is correct.
And which Federal regulations govern who can connect to a state-owned and operated network?
Besides which, considering that I can take my laptop over to the library and plug into a random ethernet port with no trouble whatsoever, I don't think keeping people off the wireless is that much of a solution.
Regardless, I'm not asking for an open access point. I'd be quite happy to go down to Computing Services(or whoever), show them my proof of Oregon residence, and fill out a form.
If I can do it to take a library book, I should be able to do it for wireless.
