His research efforts included analyzing the agency problem and its impact on decision making and the strategic management of the firm, as well as quantifying the economic impact of airline regulation which was produced by the cross-subsidization from short-haul to
long-haul airfares.

While at Union, he chaired the college’s strategic planning and budgeting priorities committee, and served on the All College Senate. He provided the genesis for and stewarded the creation of Union’s Internal Educational Foundation (IEF) which provided a formal mechanism for spawning and supporting collaborative research efforts between students and faculty. Thirty-three years later, IEF remains an active and vibrant part of intellectual innovation at Union today. Glenn was a Ford Foundation Fellow and served as a visiting instructor of American higher educational history at which time he taught a revisionist account of the role of the liberal arts college in the age of the university.

In between his undergraduate and graduate programs, Glenn studied with Lawrence Cremin at Columbia University’s Teachers College to re-examine the historical significance of the Yale Report of 1828.
