In the case of that one Music faculty member, his department accommodated him by moving him to a very back corner/end of hallway office where we eliminated coverage, and we worked out a process for turning off the radios in the small group performance hall when he was conducting/rehearsing with a 48 hour advance notice/request from his dept. chair. Didn't make it easy.
He has since left the University and we're back to full radio coverage throughout. -- jg -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Benedick, Jason Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2017 5:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] RF Sensitivity How do you accommodate? Do you turn off WiFi in areas of that building or do you just avoid placing WAPs directly in the rooms he teaches in? Are his areas still fully covered with WiFi with adjacent WAPs?

They've published the following online help doc re: this issue: https://ehs.unc.edu/radiation/wi-fi/. In all the years we've had campus wi-fi, there's only been one case for which EHS requested that we accommodate a faculty member with the placement of APs in his building. -- Jim Gogan / ITS Comm Tech / UNC-Chapel Hill From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rick Brown Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2017 4:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] RF Sensitivity 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!
