Patron data maintenance policy

I see a conflict ...

Thank you, Jacque. Agreed, detailing what External means at VCCS makes it unclear, and instead of deleted, it should say expired: Faculty and staff records are to be expired immediately if no longer employed. Student and Faculty/Staff patron accounts are deleted from Alma one year after they expire, unless pending items are attached to their record, such as overdue items or bills. 

What is the rationale for leaving expired students in Alma for a year but not even waiting until the record expires for faculty and staff? Please disregard that. I've conflated library staff/student worker Alma access with college staff/teaching faculty borrowing privileges, which are certainly not the same thing. What I'm getting at there is that Alma staff roles are deleted immediately upon termination of library employment. tc
