College fires IT admin, loses access to Google email, successfully sues IT admin for $250,000
Found on The Register on Wednesday, 18 January 2017
Shortly after the American College of Education (ACE) in Indiana fired IT administrator Triano Williams in April, 2016, it found that it no longer had any employees with admin access to the Google email service used by the school.
ACE claimed that its students could not access their Google-hosted ACE email accounts or their online coursework.
They could have done it right and host the emails internally; but outsourcing everything is so cool these days.
