We are moving to all-wireless residences.
Any wired connections provided for devices not supporting wireless are using 
RADIUS MAC Auth ties back to a username. We also have DHCP Snooping / Dynamic 
ARP Inspection on the switch ports. BPDU Guard is also enabled to disable ports.

As we improve our wireless infrastructure, rogue access points are becoming 
less of an issue.

What I would like to see is a solution to MiFi type access points popping up.

Subject: Rogue Wireless Process

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?
