Jay Rothman, president of the University of Wisconsin, a mid-ranking public university, called its content “disgusting.”
“In recent days, we have learned of specific behavior by Dr. Gow that has caused significant reputational damage to the university,” he said.
Dr. Gow said the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents unanimously decided to terminate his employment and sent him a letter citing “behavioral expectations” from the university president.
His status as a tenured professor of communications at the university, which he plans to continue next spring after resigning as chancellor, is also under review.
Karen Walsh, head of the university's board of trustees, said he was “disturbed and outraged by his actions.” “.
In an interview, the couple said they never mentioned the university in the videos, and although they were recognizable in the footage, they described themselves only as people “holding senior positions in two prominent organizations in the United States.”

Dr Gow said the board members who decided to fire him “did not follow their own policies on academic freedom and free speech.”
He added: “They also do not seem to realize that the First Amendment will be critical.” in this situation.”
But Mr. Rothman said it was “ridiculous” to argue that the First Amendment allows employees to “freely” do whatever they want on the Internet.
“We expect our chancellors, as leaders of these great institutions, to be role models for our students, staff and faculty, and for the communities we are privileged to serve,” he said.
Dr Gow could now sue the university for alleged violation of his rights. The 2004 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that fired a San Diego police officer who filmed pornographic content found that his free speech rights were not violated because the right to free expression did not apply to such explicit content.

In one of their books, published when their pornographic hobby was still anonymous, the couple wrote: “We think that our sex is wonderful, and have no qualms about other people watching us make love.
“But our establishment colleagues would probably be shocked to see us consummate a complete carnal process – especially with professional porn.” stars – and we are quite sure that we will be shunned in our community.”
Dr Gow has previously been criticized for his interest in pornography. In 2018, the university denied him a pay raise after he invited an adult actress to give a talk about the industry as part of Free Speech Week.
His dismissal ended a 17-year career as university president, who is on the Wisconsin-Minnesota border and has approximately 10,000 students.
