What were the consequences? Fines, restriction of access privilege? I agree that left to their own devices, the students will bring all kinds of stuff into the practice rooms. I play piano cop (good cop or bad cop, depending on my mood, caffeine intake, etc.) at odd times, so they don't know when I'll show up. (there are also a couple of temperamental faculty members who take it upon themselves to do some patrolling when they feel like yelling at someone) I also have the short version of the piano policy posted at eye level in each room. Unfortunately, we don't have real consequences established. The worst it gets is that I'll take a piano out of commission for a couple of days after an infraction is found, to clean it, etc. That, and I give people mean looks and hint at some horrible sort of retribution.
