Thank you for providing more clarification to what you meant; it then mean
we are on the same page on this one ;) the scenario you have actually now
referred to is also related to what i painted in my mail before this. It is
very practical that Institutions will definately not have enough
infrastructure to meet the demand of her community (staff and students) the
timing of admission and funds restrictions may be some of the reasons for
such a situation.

However,

Personally i am not in support of such a formula and i don't think such a
formula should hold so long as a student or staff is a "on-site member" of
the institution he/she should be counted as whole, irrespective of whether
the students or staff are part-time or full time. Comes to think of it,
there are many other people within the university community that were not
considered, such as guests and family members(for those that lives in staff
quarters) so IMHO the excess of the part-timers will hopefully cover for
those.

The only funtime/partime individual that i think we don't necessarily have
to consider are those that are totally off-site (online learners/tutors)

Also technically speaking, i believe most of the institution will run some
kind of dynamic address assignment and ofcourse those assignment will have
lease period...which will mean that even though a part time student came in
the morning to use the network and left....it does not necessarily mean
that the IP address he/she used is available in the evening to another
person(depending on the lease time set)

I think to get a good and sustainable solution we have to explore all
