Upon retirement, 麻豆社 faculty and staff lose access to some specific 麻豆社 resources they may have typically used in their scholarship or work, such as 麻豆社 Office software or the off-campus use of digital research resources such as Galileo. If there are faculty or staff retirees who plan to continue their scholarship or work on a special 麻豆社 project, and both they and the university would benefit from their continuing access to these resources, they may apply for 麻豆社 Faculty and Staff Affiliate status. Applications to become a 麻豆社 non-paid Affiliate are considered on a case-by-case basis.
If their application is approved, 麻豆社 Faculty and Staff Affiliates will be granted access to selected resources for a period up to three-years with a required annual check-in. All University policies regarding the appropriate use of state resources and responsible personal conduct apply to the use of its computing and networking resources (see 麻豆社’s Acceptable Use Policy). Georgia state laws, policies, and audit practices, as well as federal and state contract-compliance laws to which 麻豆社 is subject, require that state resources (e.g., computers and network) be used only for University-related activities. Users are subject to open record requests and other compliance-related disclosures.
As part of the application process to become an unpaid affiliate, 麻豆社 faculty and staff retirees must agree to a criminal background check and complete biannual cybersecurity training. A retiree must have a break in service after retirement of at least 30 days before applying to become an affiliate.
