I put quotes around jamming, because it isn't technically.
We are seeing an SSID named 'ACCESS DENIED' on 2.4GHz channel 4, with a
40MHz width and channel 8 extension.
The signal is not high enough to interfere with most clients, but for some
of our meshed access points, the signal level is fairly close to the signal
available from the mesh's host access point.

Is this a common thing?  Have others seen the same on their campus, and if
so, what are the policies and practices that you follow?

I know the signal is coming from off-campus, but I don't have assurance
that it is malicious intent or that it is intended to disrupt our campus
network.
