Dear colleague
This is an important message about the Universities Superannuation Scheme. If you are an administrator, or have HR responsibilities, please forward to all colleagues who are members of USS and, where appropriate, include a reference to the weblinks below on your local website.
I am writing to draw your attention to potential changes to the structure and benefits of the Universities Superannuation Scheme, and the University’s response to these. Details can be found on the following webpage: http://www.cam.ac.uk/for-staff/news/funding-pressures-and-the-future-of-uss
You can also read the UUK employer consultation documents, and the University’s response here: https://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/cam-only/offices/pensions/uss/index.html
The Vice-Chancellor will chair a Discussion at 2pm on Tuesday, 28 October 2014 on the Future of USS in the Senate House. All members of the University who are qualified to attend Discussions are invited to attend.
It is my intention to write again should there be further important news on these proposed changes, and to publish any other relevant information to the webpages above.
Dr J W Nicholls
