Consultation process
The consultation requested feedback from Universities UK (UUK) and through it from individual participating employers by the end of November 2014.
On 21 November UUK issued a note on UUK’s assumptions proposed in the USS consultation and asked for responses by 28 November.
Imperial’s response
The College has chosen to share its response with staff. Its submission to UUK also includes a report published by a working group of Imperial academic staff, containing expertise in Mathematical Finance, Statistics, Actuarial Science and experience in decision making for large external pension funds, drawn together from the College’s Departments of Mathematics and Physics.
