19.01 / Acceptable Use, Policy: Section G
"When an employee is terminated, resigns, retires, or is no longer performing duties on behalf of the University, access to administrative/informational systems, University provided devices and employee email will be terminated immediately. Access to online payroll history and tax related forms will be provided to the employee. In these instances, or when a University employee changes positions or moves to another University department or unit, the employee's supervisor will be given access to the computing and information technology resources provided to that employee. A University employee or the employee's supervisor, in consultation with Human Resources, may ask the University's Chief Information Officer to provide access to the employee's computing and information technology resources to someone other than the employee's supervisor."
19.01 / Acceptable Use, Policy: Section H

No data will be transferred from the email account @wichita.edu to the @shockers.wichita.edu email account."
