Bullard was born in Wheeling, West Virginia to L. Todd Bullard and Katharine Virginia Netting Bullard. He earned a bachelor's degree in history from West Liberty University in 1953 where he served as student body president and founded the Chi Nu fraternity. He went on to earn degrees in political science: First a master's degree from West Virginia University in 1956 and then a doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh in 1964.[1]
While in graduate school, he took his first administrative position, director of Parkersburg Community College. After graduating, he moved to become president of Potomac State College.[2]
In March 1970, Bullard was tapped by the newly installed Rochester Institute of Technology president Paul A. Miller to become that institution's first provost. His mission was to improve the "educational level and quality" of the institute.[3]
After retiring, he took a position as scholar-in-residence for the Center for Public Service at the University of Virginia, where he worked until 1991.
He is also a descendant of Anne Hupp, who was famous for defending Miller's Blockhouse from a Shawnee Indian attack, in 1782, for over 24 hours after her husband and father were killed.
