One of the perks for emeritus [1] faculty and staff is to retain their
uni.edu e-mail account for as long as they like.  Others who leave UNI
are not afforded that perk.

OSU does not provide full-service email accounts to retirees. However,
retirees with at least ten years service may transition their
"name.n () osu edu <mailto:name.n () osu edu>" university email addresses to
the University Alumni Association's Lifetime Email Forwarding Service.
That service maintains retiree and alumni "name.n () osu edu
<mailto:name.n () osu edu>" email addresses and forwards email to an
independently-obtained off-campus personal email address.

Hello All,

I have been tasked with investigating how other institutions are
handling retiree email accounts.  We have had multiple requests for
these types of accounts recently and we still aren’t sure how we want
to handle them.  I was hoping that other folks on this list might
have addressed this issue already and I might be able gain a bit of
insight into the issue that could be applied at our institution.

A few of the major issues that I see right off the bat:

   1. Do we allow them to use the same email account and
      archive/purge all of their email that existed from when they
      were employed at the College?
   2. Do we create a new account with a new email address that
      designates the account as a retiree account?
   3. How long should they have access to the retiree email (1 year,
      2 years, forever...)?
   4. Can they extend the use of the email account for a longer
      period of time?


Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
