Biographical Note

Glen L. Taggart succeeded Daryl Chase in 1968 to become the eleventh president of USU. After earning a bachelor's degree at USU, the Cache Valley native worked for the Federal government as a rural sociologist with the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. In 1943 he earned a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin in 1943. Taggart had a long involvement with international programs. In 1944 Taggart, with the USDA Foreign Agricultural Office, travelling extensively to over thirty-eight foreign countries. He came to USU from Michigan State University, where he had been Dean of International Studies and Programs since 1956. While President of USU Taggart emphasized international and extension programs, implemented a decentralized budget, and made sweeping changes to tenure and promotion. Although there was some unrest at USU during the 1960s and 1970s, Taggart preferred diplomacy rather than confrontation when dealing with student unrest at USU during the late 1960s and early 1970s. He retired in 1979.
