Pioneer Press — Earl H. Potter III, the president of Minnesota’s St. Cloud State University, died in a highway crash. He was 69.
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Chancellor Steven Rosenstone said in a statement that Potter died Monday evening in a crash as he drove to the Twin Cities for a foundation board meeting. University spokesman Loren Boone confirmed Potter’s death.
