Myron L. Coulter

Myron Lee "Barney" Coulter, Ed.D. (born March 21, 1929)^[1] served as President of Idaho State University from 1976 to 1984. Coulter previously served as a vice president of Western Michigan University.

Beginning in 1984, Coulter served as Chancellor of Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC. Coulter, known to friends and colleagues by his nickname of “Barney,” 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, the university 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.
