Now that school has started back for us, the influx of rogue wireless routers has started. It is against policy to have them in the residence halls, but the "teeth" are somewhat vague. We generally start with general communications to all students through emails as well as their RAs. After a grace period, we begin hunting them down and asking them nicely to remove them. After that, we shutdown the wired port and have their RA / other residential authority ask them nicely. Thankfully it hasn't progressed beyond that point.
I want a fair but strong process for dealing with these and wanted to poll the list on what your actual process is. How much and how quickly do you involve organizations outside of IT? Do you have IT punishments (removal of access, wireless countermeasures, etc) or just general school discipline?
