I've been floating this idea to IT leadership for years, with no interest on their part. We implemented an open guest network with no rate limiting about 18 months ago, so now any student who doesn't want to onboard doesn't have to. I figured that would get the bosses asking why we bother to authenticate on the other SSID, but still no. It's ironic that the people who constantly stress the importance of customer experience and regularly complain to me about the onboarding experience can't be bothered to consider obvious alternatives. I wouldn't be so disappointed if we discussed the pros and cons and they came to a different conclusion than I have, but it sounds so radical to them that they don't even care to discuss it.

One more for you all- anyone contemplating ditching 802.1X for the BYOD side of your WLAN (not managed laptops and "business" clients) and simplifying with OWE/WPA3? Like... the open network that's actually moderately secure leveraging the latest security options?
