Connecting External non-students to Campus Network

[Ken Shaurette <Ken.Shaurette () OMNITECHCORP COM>]

What do other colleges or universities do with external users who want
to connect their computers to the network for internet access (for
example a community group who might be using a conference room for a
day)?  How are these types of requests being handled, and handled
securely in terms of the network?  I know that a lot depends on how the
network is configured, but let's assume a very flat network with minimal
separate between the student network and administration. 

*       Is an acceptable use policy required from the users? 
*       Do you make them aware of Security Policy in some way? 
*       Is there a requirement that antivirus software be installed? 
*       What about personal firewalls? 
*       Are there any concerns about liability should these users
contract a virus from your network or be hacked by a student?
