Matthew,

Here are a few ideas (assuming that your Wi-Fi system/Trouble Ticket system 
allows you to poll that kind of data)

-HELP DESK: % of Help Desk trouble tickets related to Wireless, and type of 
problem
-BANDWIDTH: How is your bandwidth to the Internet doing? (% Utilization, are 
you limited for the Wi-Fi side?)
-AP LOAD: What is your campus wide ratio of user/AP (theoretical campus ratio : 
maximum unique users per day/total number of APs, Distribution ratio: What do 
you observe in your system, and how many APs are not within your own
 requirements…)
-AP DENSITY: What is your average dBm ? what do you consider to be your 
requirement and what % of  users on APs are/are not within that limit
-AP QUALITY: Then move to Jorj suggestion of measuring re-auth etc…

Any other limiting factor like DHCP capacity (number of IPs)
and finally, ease of configuration (number of trouble tickets related to 
configuration issues)
