In this recent article from Real Simple, Saybrook University professor Alfonso Ferguson, Ph.D., explains that what one person sees as a “green flag” is shaped by their own values, experiences, and relationship history. Instead of looking for someone who checks every box, he encourages people to focus on qualities that foster trust, respect, and genuine connection.

“Green flag” checklists are everywhere on dating apps and TikTok, but some therapists say they oversimplify what a healthy relationship actually looks like. Here’s what to look for instead.

Access to health care shouldn’t depend on where you live. In many rural communities, chiropractic physicians help fill critical gaps in care by improving mobility, reducing pain, and supporting whole-person health. At University of Western States, students gain hands-on experience through community-based clinical education, preparing them to serve patients in underserved communities and make a meaningful impact wherever they’re needed most.

Learn how chiropractic physicians improve access to care in rural communities and how UWS prepares students for community-based practice.

In today’s episode of Radical Cooperation, Dr. Michael Horowitz speaks with Dr. Jonathan Koppell about challenging the idea that a university’s value is measured by how many students it turns away. Together, they discuss how institutions can expand access while maintaining excellence.

American higher education has long equated quality with exclusivity, treating the number of students an institution rejects as a measure of its worth. That logic puts enormous pressure on the colleges that open their doors widest, and it frames struggling institutions as inevitable casualties of a s...

What does student success really require? In the latest episode of Radical Cooperation, Dr. Michael Horowitz sits down with Bhaktirose Dawdy of Mt. Hood Community College to explore the barriers that often go unseen in higher education. The conversation examines how addressing students’ basic needs can have a profound impact on retention, persistence, and long-term success.

Higher education measures success in grades, credits, and completion rates. What those metrics rarely capture is what gets in the way: a broken-down car, a missed bus, a laptop the student doesn’t own, or twenty dollars that the family can’t spare. For a significant share of students, the differ...

Higher education is often framed as a competition for students, rankings, and resources. But what if the future actually belongs to institutions willing to collaborate instead? On the newest episode of Radical Cooperation, Dr. Michael Horowitz speaks with Dr. Thomas Evans, president of the University of the Incarnate Word, about CHARISM, a groundbreaking alliance of four Catholic universities & the lessons it offers for higher education leaders seeking partnership over competition.

Higher education is often framed as a competition for students, rankings, and resources. But as financial pressures grow and the challenges facing colleges become more complex, some institutions are exploring a different path — one built on partnership rather than isolation. In this episode of Rad...
