We have similar statements as MSU Denver. We found students would connect
their wireless devices and broadcast our SSID. Not only did it circumvent
the security of the managed wireless, it caused an increase in support
calls to our support desk. As for smart TVs and such, students are able to
connect them to an unsecured wireless network once registered.

Network Devices
MSU Denver networking systems are to be installed and maintained by MSU
Denver IT Services Networking administrators. Unauthorized installation or
use of networking devices such as wireless access points, network switches
or routers, or other devices can interfere with MSU Denver Networking
systems, and is therefore prohibited. Unauthorized devices found to be
connected to MSU Denver networks may be disabled, disconnected, and/or
confiscated if they are found to be inappropriately installed.

?We are contemplating the need for a section in one of our policies that
includes the topic of connecting network enabled devices (such as IoT,
rogue AP's, etc) but not sure what guidelines we would want to provide.
Does anyone have any policies that pertain to this specific topic that they
could share with me?
