Joe Gow argued that his videos and two e-books he and his wife Carmen have published about their experiences in adult films are protected by the First Amendment.
SCOTT BAUER Associated Press Joe Gow , UWL's former chancellor, said he was fired from UW-La Crosse for producing and appearing in porn videos.In a closely watched First Amendment rights case, a former University of Wisconsin campus chancellor who was fired after making pornographic films with his wife prepared to argue Friday for keeping his tenured teaching position even as he faces removal for unethical behavior.
A UW-La Crosse faculty committee unanimously recommended in July that Gow lose his faculty position, saying he exploited his position to generate more interest and revenue from the videos. University attorneys plan to argue Friday that he should lose his tenured teaching position because he harmed the university's reputation and interfered with its mission.
The regents personnel committee was to discuss the case behind closed doors after taking testimony Friday. Its recommendation, also secret, will then be taken up at a meeting of the full Board of Regents as soon as next week. "It is utterly inconsistent with the First Amendment and the Board of Regents' own profession of fidelity to the philosophy of free expression on a college campus to terminate or even punish speech that is legal and that does not cause a serious harm to the university's mission," Gow's attorney, Mark Leitner, argued in a filing ahead of the hearing.
