The best way to prevent this happening is to have an IT security policy that everyone has to agree to, stating that they can't connect unauthorized devices to the network (which is what they're doing) or run their own wireless network.

If you go to the monitor tab on your WLC and click on Rogues then Unclassified Rogues, click on the check box next to a rogue and click on contain. This may prevent clients from connecting to these rogues.

The Cisco AVC solution for wireless networks identifies more than 1000 business- or consumer-class applications using deep packet inspection (DPI). This extraordinary visibility into application traffic allows administrators to mark applications for further prioritization, or block them for security reasons or to conserve limited network bandwidth.

You may enable a MAC based security in your environment to fix this issue.
