The process of apoptosis in glial cells. Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate, or extent of glial cell apoptosis. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of glial cell apoptosis. A form of programmed cell death that begins when a cell receives internal or external signals that trigger the activity of proteolytic caspases, proceeds through a series of characteristic stages typically including rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), and plasma membrane blebbing (but maintenance of its integrity until the final stages of the process), and ends with the death of the cell. Cell death resulting from activation of endogenous cellular processes. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of glial cell apoptosis.
