‘Enough Is Enough’: University of Wisconsin LaCrosse Slams Its Former Chancellor, Fired For Double Life as Vegan Porn Star
The former chancellor, Joseph Gow, tells the Sun after the hearing that the university’s lawyers didn’t want to ‘engage in the true First Amendment debate’ over his pornographic books and videos.

A hearing unfolded on Friday that will determine the fate of a professor and former chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Joseph Gow, who was fired from his chancellorship for leading a secret second life performing in explicit pornographic videos online. It might not, though, be the end of a saga that has captured national attention — as Mr. Gow tells the Sun that if the university hearing doesn’t go his way, he’ll have “no choice” but to file a lawsuit.
Mr. Gow, who was fired as chancellor last year but has so far retained his tenured professorship, has been fighting to keep his job for months as he claims his behavior — including making porn with his wife for OnlyFans, running a YouTube channel for cooking vegan food with porn stars, and publishing two books about his sex life — are protected free expression.
