LA CROSSE, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — A UW – La Crosse faculty committee recommends firing former chancellor Joe Gow.
The committee recommends Gow be fired from his tenured teaching position.
In December, Gow was fired as chancellor by the UW Board of Regents after he and his wife were found to be making online porn videos.
In a report, the committee says Gow’s most serious misconduct was his response to the discovery of the videos and his firing as chancellor.
The report states Gow exploited his role as a La Crosse faculty member to generate more views and revenue off his pornographic content.
Gow has called the report and its findings insubstantial to terminating him as faculty.
The firing recommendation now goes to new UW – La Crosse Chancellor James Beeby, who will decide whether to forward it to the full Board of Regents.
