Hi Dr. Sonya, we generally don't remove bureaucrat rights unless the user has done something wrong or violated our Terms of Use -- it doesn't hurt anyone for a trusted member to maintain rights, so they can start helping again when they return. We recommend you just leave them be.

However, if they have done something wrong, or if there's a clear consensus from the community members (for a specific reason) that the rights should be removed, we can investigate further. Please contact us at Special:Contact with links to those details if you feel strongly about pursuing the issue.
