Myron L. Coulter
Myron Lee "Barney" Coulter, Ed.D. (March 21, 1929 – October 4, 2011)[1][2] was an American university administrator. He was the President of Idaho State University in Pocatello from 1976 to 1984.[3] Coulter previously served as a vice president of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.[4][5]
After eight years leading ISU, Coulter became Chancellor of Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina.[6][7] Known to friends and colleagues by his nickname of “Barney,” Coulter guided Western Carolina for a decade characterized by a renewed emphasis on excellence in teaching, strategic planning and goal-setting, service to the western North Carolina region, and outreach to the international community.
During his tenure as chancellor from 1984 to 1994, the WCU established the Faculty Center for Teaching Excellence, later renamed the Coulter Faculty Commons for Excellence in Teaching and Learning in recognition of his support of the center’s efforts both as chancellor and, upon his retirement, as chancellor emeritus. He died at age 82 in 2011 after a battle with cancer.[8]
