The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents unanimously voted to revoke the tenure of a former campus chancellor who was terminated for producing pornographic films. The ex-chancellor, who had served at UW-La Crosse for nearly 17 years, had hoped to retain a teaching position as a communications professor but was denied.
University attorneys argued that the former chancellor's actions were unethical, violated his employment contract terms, damaged the university's reputation, and interfered with its mission. The decision to terminate his tenure was made in a closed session before being publicly announced.
