Three key figures of the #USS pensions dispute were working together in Birmingham on the SMT back in 2012: Alistair Jarvis, David Eastwood and Adam Tickell.

All three are in this wonderful issue of @BuzzUniBham: intranet.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/buzz/doc…
Alistair Jarvis, sans beard, was the Director of Communications & Marketing.

From "Enhancing Birmingham's Reputation" to "Trashing UniversitiesUK's Reputation" in 5 short years.

If only he had stuck to Happiness Lectures ...
Here is Birmingham's VC weighing in on the hot topic of the day - whether or not Birmingham should have an elected mayor.

Prof Sir David Eastwood is now the Chairman of the Board of #USS Trustees. He's also on the Board of UUK, as a "President's nominee" (Prof Dame Janet Beer)
In 2012, Prof Adam Tickell was leading Birmingham's Athena Swan Working Group.

Now he is the VC of the University of Sussex.

Reports suggest that Adam Tickell has been representing VCs on UniversitiesUK's negotiating team.
Adam Tickell was David Eastwood's number 2 (his Vice-Principal) at Birmingham.

It is just too cozy that that D Eastwood is now Chairman of USS, and also a UUK Board Member - and A Tickell is UUK's trusted VC on their negotiation team.
