Here’s what NBC News reported:

The longtime chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse has been fired from his position after his porn career with his wife came to light.

Dr. Joe Gow, who had served as chancellor since 2007, was terminated from the role on Wednesday by the Universities of Wisconsin System Board of Regents and placed on paid administrative leave “effective immediately,” the school system said in a news release.

However, as a tenured faculty member, Gow will eventually return to work in a faculty role. Earlier this year, he had announced that he wanted to transition back into teaching as a communications professor.

The termination comes after university officials learned that Gow and his wife, former UW-La Crosse professor Carmen Wilson, had been making pornographic videos together and published two books together about making adult films.

While the couple used a pen name (Geri and Jay Hart) for their two published books on Amazon — “Married with Benefits: Our Real-Life Adult Industry Adventures” and “Monogamy with Benefits: How Porn Enriches Our Relationship” — they weren’t very secretive about their adult entertainment endeavors.

They used their real photos on social media profiles where they went by the moniker “Sexy Happy Couple.” Their social media pages also advertised their videos as available on PornHub and OnlyFans.

Here’s what the New York Post reported:

The University of Wisconsin chancellor who previously paid a porn star thousands of dollars to speak to students on campus was canned Wednesday — after it was revealed he films his own adult content with his wife and posts the X-rated videos online.

The Universities of Wisconsin Board of Regents decided unanimously to fire longtime UW-La Crosse Chancellor Joe Gow, citing his “abhorrent” conduct in a vague statement.

“In recent days, we learned of specific conduct by Dr. Gow that has subjected the university to significant reputational harm. His actions were abhorrent,” UW president Jay Rothman said in a statement.

Gow — La Crosse’s second-longest-serving chancellor — appears in various online porn videos with his wife, Carmen Wilson, using “Sexy Happy Couple” as their public account name.

The films, which sometimes feature well-known porn stars, appear on sites like OnlyFans as well as Pornhub.

With university chancellors like these, self-education is starting to sound like a more respectable degree program.
