I don't think so.  I think anytime a university enforces a uniform policy that 
applies to all folks, it shouldn't be an issue.  Of course, we are a long way 
from actually doing this.  We'll involve Phillipe if we move forward.

I would go back to Jason's comment and reference eduroam's policy. I personally 
think that only allowing 5GHz on eduroam goes against the spirit the global 
availability of eduroam. My 2 cents.

What do you do after you've given the last remaining free 2.4Ghz channel to the 
third department that requests one and you've got none left for yourselves?

And presumably Engineering have lots of CCI because all of their APs are on the 
same frequency?

Not critcising, just trying to understand! :)
