Former UW Leader Battles for Teaching Position
Joe Gow, the former chancellor of UW-La Crosse, is fighting to retain his tenured teaching position following a scandal involving his creation of adult content. University officials argue that Gow's actions have damaged the institution's reputation and interfered with its mission.
It is utterly inconsistent with the First Amendment... to terminate or even punish speech that is legal and that does not cause a serious harm to the university's mission.
- Gow served as chancellor for nearly 17 years
- He and his wife published e-books and videos about their adult film experiences
- A faculty committee unanimously recommended Gow lose his position
- Gow argues his content is protected by the First Amendment
- The final decision will be made by the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents
