Professor Jane Hutton has been appointed with effect from 1st November 2015 as a UCU-nominated director of USS - the Universities Superannuation Scheme.

Professor Hutton has been one of the leaders in substantial efforts to challenge the large changes to USS which are in train as a consequence of the latest actuarial valuation, and hopes to continue to ameliorate the effects of those changes. The USS has assets of about 42 billion pounds.

There are 12 directors: four appointed by UUK, three appointed by UCU and five independent directors.
