Former UW-La Crosse Chancellor Joe Gow Sues for Reinstatement Over Adult Entertainment Controversy

Joe Gow, the former chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, has filed a federal lawsuit seeking his reinstatement as a professor after being fired due to his involvement in the adult entertainment industry. Gow created online pornography and authored books with his wife discussing their experiences, leading to allegations of unethical conduct and damages to the university's reputation. He argues that his First Amendment rights were violated, stating that the content he produced was not obscene and done during personal time. The lawsuit requests damages and reinstatement as classes resume.
