I guess we're lucky in that we haven't received that sort of complaint so far.  
You might be able to find some studies in the sources of this Wikipedia article 
to present to them since it's widely accepted that Wikipedia itself isn't a 
trustworthy information source by itself.  The Wikipedia article references its 
reference #28 stating that it's not an accepted diagnosis.

The mind seems to do some strange things when you think something is causing 
you issues even if it's not, which is also covered in the diagnosis section of 
the linked Wikipedia article, which notes it as a "nocebo effect".  This seems 
to be the case for some other things people claim cause them ailments as well, 
such as aspartame, MSG, etc. from what I've gathered.

Lol.
Please have all your roommates and neighbors sign this form stating that it is 
OK to turn off the WiFi and we will get right on it.
Thanks,

Curious to how other universities handle complaints from parents, students, 
staff, or faculty asking for wireless to be turned off in their dorm room, 
workspace, etc.?
Studies that you've used to refute these claims would be helpful!
Thanks in advance!
