Firing Over Adult Films
The Board unanimously voted to terminate Gow, citing his actions as "abhorrent" and causing "significant reputational harm" to the university.
Board's Unanimous Decision
Gow and his wife, known as the "Sexy Happy Couple," created explicit content on social media platforms like LoyalFans and OnlyFans.
Online Presence as "Sexy Happy Couple"
Gow argued that the videos were produced as private citizens under their First Amendment rights, unrelated to his position as chancellor.
First Amendment Defense
Despite Gow's defense, the Board stated that his actions went against the university's policy on academic freedom and freedom of expression.
Policy on Academic Freedom
Gow expressed concern that the Board's decision sets a precedent against free speech and freedom of expression, emphasizing the need to uphold these rights.
Concerns for Free Speech
Gow claimed he was unaware of any policy violations, didn't receive a hearing, and was taken by surprise at the decision to fire him.
Lack of Violation Notice
UW System President Jay Rothman emphasized that there are limits on what university leaders can say and do, expecting them to be role models.
President Rothman's Statements
Republican lawmaker Sen. Steve Nass suggested halting a deal with UW System over diversity staff limits due to concerns about when leaders knew of Gow's activities.
Political Response
