The Open Letter is now Live - and the brilliant blog post on the topic.

We are delighted to be able to say that our Open Letter on pensions and inequality to the Equality Challenge Unit and all Universities in the UK is now live.
Athena as a Swan, by Erin Robbins


The letter is here:

OPEN LETTER TO THE EQUALITY CHALLENGE UNIT AND ALL UK UNIVERSITY LEADERS

You can sign it at that link. We welcome any and all to sign it, but please do note that we ask that if you sign it you might be committing yourself to stopping working on certain Athena SWAN activities if you are not satisfied with the response.

Also we pay tribute to this wonderful blog post: "Women to be hardest hit by proposed university pension scheme changes" by Martin HeneghanJo Grady and Liam Foster, also published today, which gives a lot of background on the issue.

Finally, we have posted some questions here but get in touch to ask more: @USSAthenaSwan
