MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents has voted unanimously to fire a communications professor who was seeking to retain tenure after his dismissal as chancellor of one of the system’s campuses for making pornographic films. The board on Friday rejected his wish to remain a professor. Joe Gow had served as chancellor of UW-La Crosse for nearly 17 years.

Gow has said he is considering filing a lawsuit to retain his teaching job.
