The future of higher education depends on collaboration.

Written by founder and chancellor, Michael Horowitz, Ph.D., The Community Solution: The Power of Radical Cooperation in Higher Education. The book offers a practical framework for institutional sustainability at a time when colleges and universities face declining enrollments, financial pressure, and growing public scrutiny.

Grounded in Practice

Drawing from the real-world experience of building The Community Solution Education System, a network of six distinct colleges and universities serving more than 13,000 students, Dr. Horowitz demonstrates how institutions can maintain their unique missions while working together to share resources and expertise.

The book outlines seven core principles that define radical cooperation in higher education, including developing institutional strengths, embracing shared learning, practicing productive humility, and sustaining a culture of urgency and innovation. Through case studies ranging from institutional turnarounds to the launch of new academic programs, The Community Solution shows how collaboration strengthens academics.

Who Should Read This Book

Written for college presidents, trustees, administrators, and higher education leaders, The Community Solution provides actionable insight into how institutions can adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing educational landscape.

A Timely Conversation

As higher education continues to evolve, the question is no longer whether change is necessary, but how it will be achieved. The Community Solution challenges long-standing assumptions about independence and strength, offering collaboration as a strategic advantage rather than a compromise.
