Introduction
Outline
These pages are the personal views of Stephen J. Cowley, and were originally provided a source of information
- for the University of Cambridge ballot on the 2010/11 changes to the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS);
- on the official USS consultation for the 2010/11 changes.
The legacy pages can be accessed from the left menu.
These pages now contain a few links to sources of information regarding the even more disastrous 2014/15 proposed changes to the USS. These changes will probably cost current members of USS many tens of thousands of pounds.
