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.
