Basler came under a lot of criticism for her actions in the protest, which were captured on a video of student journalist Tim Tai being pushed out of the tent village for trying to photograph the demonstration. Basler, along with Communications Professor Melissa Click, urged the students to prevent Tai from exercising his First Amendment right.
Basler can be seen getting in Tai’s face at around 2:18. She pushes him, he says, “Ma’am, don’t push me,” to which she cleverly replies, “YOU don’t push ME.”
Give her the boot..
Janna is fantastic and does a fantastic job. She helps Greek life so much. She shouldn’t have been there but she was supporting what she thought was right. Don’t pass judgement on what you don’t know
