It's really one for the lawyers.
1) I would look for another job if it required that I install key loggers on
staff or student machines. In secret. There are so many problems with that one
that I'll just summarize
a) keylogging programs may not just send the output where you want it to go
b) I suspect in many states their would be criminal sanctions
c) You'd be included in the lawsuit.
2) If it is a staff/student machine and violations of the AUP are suspected
then the machine can be collected and a lot of methods can be used to track
their use of the machine.
3) if something criminal is suspected then you need to step back and hand it
over to law enforcement. In fact with some types of material if you even have
access to it an overambitious prosecutor may charge you as well as the offender
(we all remember the case last year of the admin investigating sexting who was
also charges because he saw the evidence)
