Missouri acts fast
Bryan Le Beau, the University of Missouri dean who delivered a 2003 commencement speech that contained passages plagiarized from Cornel West and Russell Baker, has been placed on administrative leave.

Lebeau's leave lasts through the end of 2005; UM administrators will use that time to investigate the allegations against him.
