...and access to educationally licensed material, and access to
institutional resources that are sensitive,  and so much more.  all while
no longer being formally bound by institutional policies and oversight?
 Yes, we have considered and continue to struggle with that...   Not to
mention that both faculty and staff come in a *wide* variety of flavors and
levels of ties to the institution over time...  <fingers-in-ears singing
"lalalalala"....>

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...."

are terminated 30 days after the HR termination date (which gets
complicated for adjunct faculty).  We don’t provide alumni accounts.



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



Thanks,

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?
