Currently, they have a single account. The account has LDAP attributes
associated with it indicating their primary role that services can use 
for authorization decisions.

That said, we, like many others are exploring outsourcing student email.
If that happens, things may change. Student employees may get their
outsourced email account and also a campus resident email account on the 
faculty/staff email system to be used for university business. No decisions
have been made yet so if you have thoughts....
