The system you're looking for involve biometrics or smartcards. Firewalls between student and administration areas would be a good idea as well.
It must be dreadful to work in a place where everybody is The Enemy. In case I every get another job at a University, how do you separate "student areas" from "administration areas"? In my limited experience, we had students in labs, classrooms, and offices in the Administration Building, administrators (RA'a, residents, offices) in the Residence Halls, all kinds of creepy people in the libraries, classrooms, offices, dining rooms, and recreational and exercise facilities. Do you use armed guards to keep everybody in their proper areas? -- Requiescas in pace o email
