Director of Greek Life Placed on Administrative Leave

University of Missouri Director of Greek Life Janna Basler has been "placed on administrative leave and relieved of her duties as Director of Greek Life while conduct an investigation regarding her recent actions," according to a statement by Department of Student Life Director Mark Lucas.

Basler was seen in a video that surfaced Monday of a confrontation between demonstrators  and Mizzou photojournalism student Tim Tai following the resignation of University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe. 

In the video, Tai asks Basler's name to which she responded, "My name is 1950" referring to the group Concerned Student 1950 who had been calling for Wolfe's resignation.
