For those of you who have acceptable use policies for visitors, could you please send me a link to them. We are in the process of creating one, and I want to make sure all of the "loop holes" are covered. Thank you.

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. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Discussion Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Donald, A. Wayne Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 2:14 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Acceptable Use 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? ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/cg/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/cg/.
