Former University of Wisconsin-La Crosse chancellor Joe Gow is suing to get his teaching job back. Gow was fired as chancellor in 2023 after the university learned that he and his wife made online pornographic videos. The suit argues Gow’s free speech rights under the U.S. Constitution were violated when UW Regents also terminated his professorship this past September. The lawsuit seeks to reinstate Gow’s teaching position at the school and have him receive compensation for lost wages and other damages. A UW spokesperson declined to comment on the suit, saying the system doesn’t comment on pending litigation.
