This is the fourth in a series of 12 lectures on the subject of complexity given at the Johnson Center, GMU during the 1998 Fall semester. In this lecture Warfield presents documents from several sources to support his assertion that the education level of American students is in a state of decline. He argues that college and universities are, however, in denial. For documents and accompanying transparencies see “Implications for Higher Education; Undergraduate General Education in United States,” or “Johnson Center Lecture Series on Complexity: Lecture Group 1.”
