The University recognises that the shocking events in the USA and subsequent protests will have had a profound impact on our community.
As already expressed on our social media accounts, the University of Leeds stands in solidarity with our Black community and the #BlackLivesMatter movement in the fight against racism.
Racism and intolerance, in any form, have no place at our University.
