Yes, it is. One, they are responsible for the network and two, the
internet is a dangerous place. Especially for Microsoft software.
Telcom does everyone a favor by ensuring minimum patch levels. Run
linux and the NAC policy won't apply to you.
The university wireless project also runs a UAPublic SSID that allows
campus guests to access basic Internet services, albeit at a rate
limited speed. You can find detailed wireless info at

Your best bet for a BYOB meeting is a wired network port and a switch.
Wireless blows for heavy duty networking.
