Unfortunately, aside from talking to the person there isn’t much you can do.
The person in question isn’t “jamming,” they are using spectrum and completely
entitled to do so.
Simplistically, you can prevent devices the university owns from connecting to
it. Beyond that, you venture into the grey area.
Best course is to go talk to the person, educate them, and hope they are
reasonable. realistically, you cause as much impact to them as they do to you.
