The Universities of Wisconsin Board of Regents decided unanimously to fire longtime UW-La Crosse Chancellor Joe Gow, citing his “abhorrent” conduct in a vague statement.
“In recent days, we learned of specific conduct by Dr. Gow that has subjected the university to significant reputational harm. His actions were abhorrent,” UW president Jay Rothman said in a statement.
Gow — La Crosse’s second-longest-serving chancellor — appears in various online porn videos with his wife, Carmen Wilson, using “Sexy Happy Couple” as their public account name.
The films, which sometimes feature well-known porn stars, appear on sites like OnlyFans as well as Pornhub.
[Gow has tenure at UWLC, which means he can be fired as chancellor but will remain in the faculty. That should be awkward, but even more awkward will be the legal action Gow and others may take over his status and his firing. Gow defended himself in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel by claiming that he never identified his role at UWLC nor used school resources for his side biz, and that it’s essentially none of their business. Stay tuned and pass the popcorn. — Ed]
