At CState we too weighed the options. Review of contracts for faculty and staff had no language that stated access or 
email was retained. The lack of policy, which has now been addressed, now addresses this issue and a few other. What 
our executive team agreed on was to offer the retiree the option to subscribe to a college retiree list serve. This 
enable retiree the ability to receive mailings from HR and HR to stay in contact with them. Their college account is 
suspended for 120 days. This provides time to determine if the faculty member will return on a part time basis.

When a faculty member ends employment with your institution /on good

It would seem to support academic progress and long term professional 
associations to do so and be of minimal cost.  Graduates could more 
easily contact former instructors/mentors for letters of reference and 
other occasional communications.  Professional relationships could be 
maintained and renewed more easily as people move between 
institutions.  Many retired faculty maintain research interests and contributions to professional organizations.

The only risk that is apparent to me is that former faculty could 
attempt to represent themselves as still employed at their former 
institution and may appear to "speak for" that institution.  That 
seems to me to be a tiny risk for faculty who have separated on good terms.

Retirees get to keep their IDs and email accounts forever if they request it.
 Faculty who leave UCI for another institution or the private sector get to keep their IDs 90 days, then the ID is 
deleted.
