UW-La Crosse Narrows Chancellor Search to Three Finalists

The search for a new chancellor follows the dismissal of Joe Gow over a porn scandal, with candidates set to speak at campus forums next week.

  • Three finalists have been announced in the search to replace former UW-La Crosse Chancellor Joe Gow, who was fired for producing and appearing in pornographic videos.
  • Finalists include James Beeby from Keene State College, Betsy Morgan, the interim chancellor, and Christopher Olsen from Indiana State University.
  • Campus forums for the finalists are scheduled for March 4-6, with the UW Board of Regents expected to make a decision later this month.
  • Joe Gow was removed from his position last year after his involvement in creating sex tapes came to light; he remains on paid leave pending an investigation.
  • The UW System has engaged Husch Blackwell, an external law firm, to conduct the investigation into Gow's actions.
