December 17, 2025The Community Solution is a timely, incisive, and deeply practical examination of how higher education can survive and thrive in an era defined by disruption. Drawing on real world leadership experience, Dr. Michael Horowitz presents a compelling alternative to the siloed, zero sum thinking that has long constrained colleges and universities.
Rather than advocating consolidation or loss of institutional identity, Horowitz introduces a model of radical cooperation that allows institutions to preserve what makes them unique while leveraging shared resources, expertise, and vision. The seven elements of The Community Solution are presented with clarity and purpose, reinforced by case studies that feel both urgent and hopeful from saving colleges on the brink of closure to building successful new academic programs.
This book stands out for its balance of inspiration and execution. It speaks directly to presidents, trustees, and administrators who understand that the old playbook no longer works, offering a credible, field tested roadmap for sustainable, student-centered higher education. Thought-provoking and actionable, The Community Solution is essential reading for leaders ready to move from competition to collaboration.
