The account will stay open so we can respond to DMs, but you won’t see any new content from us.

Instead, we look forward to connecting with the Leeds community on our other active channels.

Since 2009, we’ve used this account to share University updates, highlight research stories, and connect with the Leeds community far and wide.

However, in recent years - like many others - we’ve experienced a huge drop in engagement due to developments on the platform.

[University of Leeds @UniversityLeeds]

The nature of the channel has also changed over the years and no longer aligns with our University values of collaboration, compassion, inclusivity and integrity.

While this remains the case, we will no longer be actively posting on this account.
