Has anyone considered FERPA implications, in that the employees still retain access to student information but are no 
longer legally entitled to do so?

Yes, we are struggling with this as well…..

I *wish* we deprovisioned accounts by default on the day of termination.    For planned, amicable separations,  the 
account is not actually disabled until 30 days after their official termination date (although we no longer say this in 
the automated message that goes out prior to their termination date).   For some unplanned, and for all "non-amicable" 
terminations,  the account is disabled immediately upon termination.    Faculty who are retiring retain their account 
for life,  faculty who are leaving for another job are treated as above;  extension requests are usually granted.

Yeah, "cleanup needed in IAM aisle 16...."

We have a separate immediate, manual process for involuntary terminations, and other similar non-“good terms” cases.

Thanks,

Subject: [External] [SECURITY] Faculty / Staff Account De-provisioning

We are currently reviewing account de-provisioning policies regarding faculty and staff that leave the university on 
good terms and are interested in learning more about how other institutions handle this situation.
When a faculty/staff member leaves your institution’s employment, what is the timing in which access to their email 
account is revoked?  Is access revoked immediately or is there a grace period afforded to the former employee? If a 
grace period exists, how long is it? Are faculty and staff members treated the same.  If the former employee is an 
alum, are there special considerations made?
