UCU welcomed Falmouth University's decision to bring on-campus academic staff in-house from Tuesday 1 August 2023.
The move means staff will automatically be enrolled onto the Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS), which has employer contributions of 23.6%.
UCU said that other employers should look to Falmouth and make sure their staff can access the sector's leading pension schemes.
All new campus-based academic jobs will also be employed directly through the university, rather than a subsidiary company.
