NOT SENT TO GMU NOR TO ARIZ Begun in January 1996, this is a draft for a new paper. The manuscript ends with a long 2-page table titled "RELEVANT DOCUMENTS" which is a bibliographic presentation of Warfield's writings on the subject of Complexity. ABSTRACT: The impact of complexity on society is severe, yet complexity has not attained any focused, curriculum-specific, significant recognition in higher education as a critical area for conducting student learning programs. Even worse, where it has gained some limited attention, the attention is significantly misdirected. Because attention is diverted in wrong directions, it may become even more difficult to give complexity the attention that is required in order to promote appropriate action, both in higher education and in society. Advanced policy study is an appropriate arena (maybe the most appropriate) in higher education within which attention to complexity is required. Policy is generated to influence human behavior, and human behavior has to be changed if complexity is to be dealt with properly. Moreover, human capacity to ameliorate negative impacts of complexity is severely limited in the absence of the necessary insights concerning what complexity is and what demands it, in effect, makes on those who would strive to overcome its negative impacts.
