Overview
In The Community Solution: The Power of Radical Cooperation in Higher Education, Dr. Michael Horowitz provides college and university leaders with a transformative framework for institutional sustainability in challenging times.
Higher education today faces declining enrollments, financial pressures, and public scrutiny, yet many institutions remain resistant to change, operating in silos that limit innovation and growth. Drawing from his experience founding The Community Solution Education System—a network of six colleges educating over 13,000 students—Horowitz presents a groundbreaking approach where institutions maintain their unique identities while collaborating to share resources, expertise, and vision.
The book outlines seven essential elements of The Community Solution:
- developing niche superpowers
- embracing two-way learning
- practicing productive humility
- taking healthy risks
- maintaining a global perspective
- creating an inspired vision
- sustaining continuous urgency
Through compelling case studies—from rescuing colleges on the brink of closure to launching successful medical schools—Horowitz demonstrates how breaking down silos leads to institutional vitality.
Written for college presidents, trustees, administrators, and change agents in higher education, this book offers both inspiration and actionable strategies for those committed to creating more sustainable, student-centered institutions in an evolving educational landscape.
