1. Yes
2. No (limited functionality - https http)
3. No
4. Not our primary risk, they are outside campus. We have other items to
focus on that are much more important with our limited resources.

Subject: [SECURITY] Pervasive Campus Wireless



My superiors are interested in gathering some data concerning what other
universities are providing open access guest wireless services on their
campuses.  It would be helpful to us if we could enlist your input on the
following questions.



1. Does your university provide an open access Wifi system for guests on
campus?



2. If so, does it have encryption of any kind setup?



3.  Do you use a third-party subscription service such as Boingo, or do you
have your own subscription service, or no subscription required?



4. If you don't require any authentication/subscription, how does your
University feel about the risk of providing an anonymous platform that can
be used for illegal activity?  Have they accepted the risk?  Do they not
feel the risk is great enough to mitigate?



Many thanks in advance to those who respond.



Thank you,
