I guess I don't need to tell you that if this policy
were enforced (or enforcable) there'd be a big stink
when it discovered what the portions of resource usage
was for "officially sanctioned use."

This is true--I presume you're talking about thing
like average online time / week, use of various
specialized resources (why is this person who
usually just reads email suddenly telneting to
hosts all over the Internet?), &c.
I had the thought of changing commonly abused
commands (ls, rm, &c.) to locally known aliases.
The original command names are compiled programs
which log a possible anomaly, and then run the
aliased program.
Crude--but could it be effective?
