The University of Wisconsin investigated whether tenured professor Joe Gow should be dismissed for producing pornographic videos, challenging the concept of tenure as a job protection.
Academic tenure allows professors to express unpopular views without fear of dismissal. Zach Greenberg noted that firing a tenured professor is a rare occurrence.
Gow's behavior was deemed 'abhorrent' by the university, which emphasized the need to avoid being labeled 'Porn U' as a reason for his potential dismissal.
The university hired a law firm to examine Gow and Wilson's explicit videos and memoirs, demonstrating the seriousness with which they approached the case.
