Former University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Chancellor Joe Gow said Thursday that regents fired him because they were uncomfortable with him and his wife producing and appearing in pornographic videos.

The regents voted unanimously during a hastily convened closed meeting Wednesday evening to fire Gow.

After the vote, Universities of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman and Regents President Karen Walsh issued statements saying the regents had learned of specific conduct by Gow that subjected the university to “significant reputational harm.” Rothman called Gow’s actions “abhorrent” and Walsh said she was “disgusted.” But neither of them offered any details of the allegations.

    Right? Was it not always scandalous if they were unwed? But… they are… what the hell do you think a couple does behind closed doors?

      Devil’s advocate - is it behind closed doors if it’s recorded and shared on the Internet?

        Yes. You still have to go and find it. It didn’t get emailed to you. They didn’t post it to the school website.
