University of Liverpool SMT Financial Documents
We have a new release from University of Liverpool in the UK. This section provides financial details of the University which is interesting as it does not seem to support a narrative that some departments support others financially, rather all departments are able to support themselves.
USS Update of 23 October 2018. This document was made available by the University of Birmingham in the context of communicating its own response to the Joint Expert Panel
Another UK USS/JEP doc that we think is available here. This note appears to refer to the USS letter of 9 October 2018 (see other release). It 'looks to provide a little more colour to that position' [an approach that would allow some of the fundamental aspects of the 2017 USS valuation to be re-opend], and to remind USS employers of the 'trustee’s role in the valuation process'.
New Release - Letter of 9 October 2018 from Bill Galvin (Group CEO of USS), to Alistair Jarvis (Chief Executive of Universities UK) and Phil Harding (UUK member of USS Joint Negotiating Committee)
Another UK USS release. We are aware that this letter from USS on issues relating to the USS valuation is referred to, and critically analysed, in Warwick University’s response to the UUK Joint Expert Panel consultation.
Imperial College London's response to the UUK JEP
Another UK USS Strike related release we have received a PDF document of Imperial College London's response to the UUK JEP report. We believe this might be publicly available elsewhere. File attached.
