WSJ: UW Chancellor Fired for Porn
The university system’s board of regents voted unanimously to terminate University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Chancellor Joe Gow during a closed session Wednesday evening. UW-La Crosse Provost Betsy Morgan will serve as interim chancellor following Gow’s dismissal, university system leaders said.
What could Gow have done that was so bad?
Videos featuring Gow and his wife cooking vegan recipes with adult-film industry stars appeared on the YouTube channel “Sexy Happy Cooking” within the past few weeks.
An X account called “Sexy Happy Couple,” which posts videos from the YouTube channel, tells followers to visit “LoyalFans and OnlyFans sites for fully explicit scenes.”
The couple also wrote two books under pen names titled “Married with Benefits: Our Real-life Adult Industry Adventures” and “Monogamy with Benefits: How Porn Enriches Our Relationship.”
University leaders reprimanded Gow in 2018 “for exercising poor judgment” after he invited an adult film actress to speak on campus and paid for the event from his chancellor’s discretionary fund.
“I am deeply troubled that I received no due process from the Board of Regents,” Gow said.
Sound like he’s makes a good point.
Rothman said Gow “is not entitled to any specific process” as an appointee selected by the board of regents.
