On 20 February 2022, Universities UK announced that ‘93 out of 97 employers responding to the consultation — representing over 92% of the active membership of the scheme and over 98% of those responding by weighting — do not support the UCU proposal to conclude the 2020 valuation. Three employers indicated conditional support for the UCU proposal, and just one employer provided support’. For background on UUK’s misrepresentations of UCU’s proposals, read Mike Otsuka’s two-part account (10 February 2022 and 12 February 2022).

On 15 February 2022, the Committee of University Chairs released a statement on USS and the UCU proposals which, as reported by the University of Manchester, was ‘helping to inform the consultation response the University has to provide to USS this week’.
