We provide full email for one year after termination. We do have experiences with some unfortunate situations where a faculty member continued to represent themselves as being part of the university, and hence the one year limit for those who depart in good standing. We also will cut the account off if there is abusive behavior before the one year limit. Retired faculty may be identified with a particular standing, per the contract, so that they continue to have an email account, but it is limited to a few faculty members in a particular class.

When a faculty member ends employment with your institution *on good terms*, either for a position elsewhere or retirement (emeritus) status, do you provide an email forwarding service from their long established (and probably published) email address at your institution? For how long? At what cost? 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.
