Institutions are understandably proud of their programs, methods, etc. Meanwhile, to truly achieve the vision that is the Consortium, we will need institutions to recognize the importance of exchanging some of their autonomy for collaboration. I see this as a major hurdle to get over. We need to help institutional leaders to see that they are not giving something up but contributing to the evolution of our system of higher education for the benefit of both themselves and students.
