Jason,
There are several ways to do this. First off, have you decided on a
vendor yet? Yes there are standards out there that will be able to suit
your needs. For encryption I would recommend WPA2/AES. The trick for
you would be the authentication portion of the connection process. Do
you treat your two user populations (faculty/staff & students)
differently? In other words, do they authenticate to a different
authentication mechanism or is everyone treated the same as far as
authentication goes?
If you'd like, please feel free to address an email directly to me and I
can at least explain to you how we do it at Columbia University Health
Sciences Campus/New York Presbyterian Hospital. But right now it seems
to me like you have many options to chose from, none of which are right
or wrong.
Thanks.

All,
I have a few questions on how you design/deploy wireless on your campus
network.
Do you use encryption? If so, how do you handle encryption between the
client & the WAP?
Do you have one wireless network, or separate wireless networks, one for
students and one for faculty/staff?
Finally, if you allow roaming, how do you accomplish this while limiting
the WAP broadcast traffic?
Thanks.
