A reason why @Sam_Marsh101 may be right re significance of @deepa_driver's @USSbriefs: a few months ago, #USS removed valuations pre-2011 from their website. They were asked to restore them, but they didn't. Why did they remove them and not restore them?

There was something that struck me as odd about @UniversitiesUK's April denial that they ever took a 'contribution holiday': their definition of 'contribution holiday' as involving less than what the *trustee* requires. 1/
I noted in this blog post that @UniversitiesUK was employing a non-standard definition of 'contribution holiday'. 2/

Was @UniversitiesUK employing this idiosyncratic definition to try to shift responsibility for their contribution holiday onto the #USS trustees who authorised it? 3/
And did they feel the need to try to shift such responsibility because they realised that the records would reveal, as @deepa_driver has shown, that such a sustained contribution holiday was ill-judged and detrimental? 4/
And did #USS remove the triennial valuations before 2011 which were the focus of @deepa_driver's JEP submission, and fail to restore them when asked, because they did not welcome outside scrutiny of the actions of the trustee during this period? 5/
#USS and @UniversitiesUK may have answers to these questions which reveal the past actions of both the trustee and our employer to be justified and beyond reproach. 6/
But @deepa_driver's submission, plus my linked blog post from which her inquiries arose, raise questions which merit a thorough response which is full in its disclosures. 7/7

By the way, stay tuned for an interesting further document re UUK and the contribution holiday, which I'l be posting shortly....
.@UniversitiesUK doth protest too much, wethinks?
...and incorporated it into this contribution holiday destination brochure, so customers will be able to locate the exact location of the holiday on the map.
Please see this new thread, where I raise serious doubts regarding the consistency of @deepa_driver's JEP submission with the approach to the current valuation that @USSbriefs endorses in their manifesto:
