struck off
Erased from roster
Struck off means removed from an official register or list, especially as a professional sanction.
A doctor or lawyer struck off loses the right to practice: He was struck off for gross misconduct.
In British usage, a company can be struck off the register when dissolved.
The phrase implies formal, often permanent, removal from a position of professional standing.
