A Proposal to TIPP: A New Track, the Complexity Track. 1997/09/02. In this document Warfield proposes that he teach a course of study on the subject of complexity, his course to be an adjunct and integrated part of the ongoing public policy curriculum. He suggests that for this course his teaching pattern follow the British system of study - in which the student has only one examination taken at the end of his studies on the subject. The new Complexity course would include extensive use of Internet teaching, personal individual conferences with students, and a large resource base of research bibliographies, as well as a software program (the ISM software) designed to facilitate the study of complexity. The course would be limited to 36 students who had already completed the TIPP conventional public policy curriculum of course work and comprehensive exams. However it would be open to undergraduate as well as graduate level students. Warfield presented this proposal to Kingsley Haynes on 2 September 1997, and to the TIPP faculty meeting held on 3 September 1997 where he passed out copies of the 17-page proposal which describes course of study in detail. The manuscript file also contains a copy of a cover letter for the proposal, addressed to Dr. Kingsley P. Haynes, Director of TIPP, dated 2 September 1997. NOTE written 3 November 1998, more than a year later: : Kingsley Haynes appointed a committee to review the proposal, and the committee never did respond with any review or decision. Instead, the entire public policy curriculum was revised during 1997, so that the "tracks" system was eliminated, thus rendering Warfield's "Complexity Track" inoperative. There was never any formal or informal response of any sort to his proposal, either from Kingsley or from any member of the review committee. They just forgot about it, apparently.
