The (University of Wisconsin) UW-La Crosse Chancellor Joe Gow, embroiled in a scandal involving explicit online content, is terminated by the Board of Regents. Gow’s dismissal comes after revelations of engaging in explicit sexual acts with his wife on popular porn websites, causing significant reputational harm to the university.
Chancellor Gow, the longest-tenured in the University of Wisconsin system, had already planned to retire at the end of the academic year. However, a unanimous decision by the Board of Regents in a closed-door meeting led to immediate termination and administrative leave.
The scandal raises questions about whether Gow violated UW system policies, with President Jay Rothman citing actions “abhorrent” and planning a complaint against Gow’s tenured faculty status. An external law firm will conduct a thorough investigation into Gow’s conduct, reflecting the severity of the situation.
Board of Regents President Karen Walsh expressed outrage, stating Gow displayed “reckless disregard” for his responsibilities, leading to a unanimous decision to terminate him. The controversy echoes Gow’s previous involvement in inviting a former porn actress to campus, resulting in a denied pay raise in 2018.
Gow, expressing concerns about due process, highlighted the alleged hypocrisy of the UW system regarding free speech, emphasizing his right to create adult content. The scandal unfolds as the UW-La Crosse community faces the unexpected termination of its 10th chancellor.
Gow’s past involvement in controversial events, including the invitation of Nina Hartley, adds a layer to the narrative. The Amazon author profile, allegedly linked to Gow and his wife Carmen Wilson, reveals their engagement in “sex-positive” content, creating upscale pornographic videos in collaboration with industry workers.
As the UW-La Crosse community grapples with the aftermath, the Board of Regents has initiated a search for Gow’s successor, marking a pivotal moment in the university’s history. The explicit online content scandal serves as a cautionary tale about the intersection of personal choices, professional responsibilities, and the evolving landscape of free speech in academic institutions.
