Ian I think the general consensus is that the research output should remain in situ after a researcher's departure. The admin involved with removing eprints of those departed would probably be very inconsistent if you consider the communication issues involved between schools and repository (if it is the repository staff that have sole responsibility for removing eprints). This approach does lead to multiple copies of same papers online but that's probably a small price to pay (and not really much of a problem), rather than handling the admin of removal. Do next employers ask for copies of the records? I'm not aware of this but it may happen.

It's an interesting question.... however I find the flip-side even more interesting: What do you do when a researcher moves on: - Do you retain the research output? - If their next employer asks for a copy of the records, do you share? -- Ian Stuart.
