This is consistent with PSU's position as it has been explained to me. You can have policies addressing what people are allowed to do on your property, and you can address violations of those policies through appropriate administrative and legal mechanisms.
While, to my knowledge, this example was never been explicitly discussed, you could have a policy that Faculty, Staff and Students cannot operate MiFi devices on University property, and expel any violators. I believe hotels could take the same approach, and evict violators from their premises, though there are some additional legal restrictions on public accommodations of which I know almost nothing beyond the fact that they exist. As a business matter, though, it's definitely not a good decision to throw people out for doing commonplace things. Finding an administrative approach that is effective without hurting the business is a non-trivial matter. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Danny Eaton Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2015 11:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] 6-month follow-up to Marriott/FCC Wifi blocking stories Or cell phone tethering? -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lee H Badman Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2015 10:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] 6-month follow-up to Marriott/FCC Wifi blocking stories Does that include MiFis?
