Teachers’ Pension Scheme: Automatic Enrolment

Contribution

I have emphasised that I know that, for many members of staff, membership of the TPS is an important part of their terms and conditions. Although universities are autonomous and independent in the decisions that they make about the elements of their pension arrangements, and certainly their remuneration policies, I nevertheless urge those universities to bear in mind that decisions that they make for the future should safeguard their staffing, the morale of their staff, and should be made in the interests of students, taxpayers and staff.
