The University of Wisconsin fired Chancellor Joe Gow. He says it's for making porn videos with his wife. - eviltoast
Former University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Chancellor Joe Gow was fired Wednesday for what the system's president called "abhorrent" actions.

Former University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Chancellor Joe Gow said Thursday that regents fired him because they were uncomfortable with him and his wife producing and appearing in pornographic videos.

The regents voted unanimously during a hastily convened closed meeting Wednesday evening to fire Gow.

After the vote, Universities of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman and Regents President Karen Walsh issued statements saying the regents had learned of specific conduct by Gow that subjected the university to “significant reputational harm.” Rothman called Gow’s actions “abhorrent” and Walsh said she was “disgusted.” But neither of them offered any details of the allegations.

        Loss of pay and emotional distress are fundamental to being fired, I can’t see any jury awarding judgments over that.

          Happens more then you think. Assuming you get the case in front of a jury.

            Not gonna get past the judge throwing your case out when your whole case is “I was fired and I don’t like it”.
