Re: Acceptable Use

["Barros, Jacob" <jkbarros () GRACE EDU>]

We do see the same here at Grace College.  We rent facilities to large
corporations in the area for meeting or conference rooms..  also summer
conferences, board meetings, bball camps, etc.  
 
All individuals that want use our resources are required to agree to our
AUP.  There are exceptions but the office/group that is sponsoring the
visitor(s) is made aware that if the visitor violates policy, we cut the
access and the sponsor(s) is held responsible for any problems.  
 
We have some control over access right now in two ways:  first because
we don't leave 'public' ports open or activated (they are physically
connected by request only and disconnected when the specified time frame
has expired);  secondly we force all outbound traffic through our proxy
server.  If you know our proxy server address, you could bypass our
office but at that point, we don't make a fuss.  
 
We are near the end of a long-range plan that will enable us to
(campus-wide) require authentication before network access is granted.

        Virginia Tech has frequent visitors to our campus.  This is
especially true during the summer when our dorms are open to sports
camps, youth groups (FFA, 4H, etc.), and even some large conferences not
"officially" associated with the University - using dorm and meeting
space.  We are seeing an increase in these individuals bringing
computers (primarily laptops) and wanting to connect to the network.
         
        We do require individuals receiving a userid from Virginia Tech
to agree to acceptable use guidelines prior to getting connected.
However, these individuals (in most cases) will not have a Virginia Tech
userid and do not currently agree to the guidelines.
         
        Do other institutions experience such influx of individuals and
do you do anything special to ensure there is appropriate use of your
resources?
