I'm worried about this happening at my alma mater.
Under protest by the people managing the service, the university administration switched from a locally hosted service to the microsoft suite.
Now that there's a (probably very large) line item in the bill from MS to support email for people who don't pay tuition, there's got to be pressure from the beancounters to just drop the perk.

Yea, it happened to me. Switched from Gmail for students and O365 for staff to O365 for everyone. And no more alumni email! Boo! Hiss!
Florida International University switched to Microsoft too and they deleted all alumni emails in the process.
Alumnis beware of Microsoft
Yeah, your account's getting deleted. You should start backing up important emails now.
