Wisconsin-La Crosse Chancellor Invites Porn Star Nina Hartley To Campus, Immediately Has Salary Lowered

SOURCE-A University of Wisconsin chancellor’s salary adjustment could be affected after inviting a 59-year-old porn star to campus to discuss adult media.

Well, well, well, this seems like a story that could be fairly interesting. Please, tell me more.

The chancellor in question is Joe Gow, who apparently is a big #porn guy:

Gow invited porn star Nina Hartley to the school to promote academic expression for Free Speech Week at the school, the chancellor told News 19 Wednesday. He did not publicize the event in advance because he feared people would try to disrupt or stop the speech.

I don’t think I would attend such an event, but it is 2018 and inviting a porn star for a speech during free speech week isn’t the craziest idea.

Nina Hartley is a bit out of her prime, 59-years-old, but still seems to be kicking it on the circuit.

According to my research, Nina is a bit of a legend in the porn industry. There’s a chance that the UW-La Crosse chancellor was a fan of Nina’s work back in the day. Is there any chance that’s why he invited her? We’ll have to do some more investigating. If he did, it’s going to cost him:

“This will impact your salary adjustment which, along with all the other chancellors, will be before the Board in December,” Cross said in the letter. “Additionally, I will be calling for an audit of the sources and uses of the Chancellor’s Discretionary Fund for fiscal years 16, 17, 18 and 19 to date.”

Gow paid about $5,000 for Hartley’s speaking fee, the Journal Sentinel reported

Not a bad payday for Hartley. Expensive speaking fee. Educators don’t grow on trees, though:
