Handle deceased faculty #146

Open wunc opened 3 months ago

We need a way to gracefully handle deceased faculty. When the profile is not needed, we can just archive it. However, sometimes we want to keep the URL active in case news articles are referencing it.

Maybe a special designation (like In Memoriam) that removes it from the public indexes, but still allows it to be accessible via direct link? Also, a clear visual indicator (and/or customizable message) on the profile and profile card that it has this designation?

Side note so I don't forget: this designation should also remove them from the profile picker. Not sure about searches, though.
