The Wall Street Journal,
The Evidence of Things Not Seen.
Friday, May 16, 2003. Opinion/Taste Section. W7.
by Chetly Zarko. PDF Reprint

Opinion editorial and analysis of archival evidence that U-Michigan suppressed diversity findings that were contrary to expert testimony by a social scientist eventually cited as evidence in Supreme Court oral arguments.

The Michigan Bar Journal,
An Economic Alternative to Affirmative Action
May, 2003. by Chetly Zarko.  PDF version.

Using archival material not directly related to the evidence of research suppression outlined above, this piece outlines the problems with racial preferences and suggests a solution using the University of Michigan's own internal research.  The solution is a race-neutral program of socio-economic preferences, something universities would be hesitant to implement properly due to cost.

The Michigan Bar Journal,
America Stands for Diversity, Response of Reginald M. Turner, August 2003.

Turner writes: " ... only one of the responses to the March article seriously discussed the facts in the cases.5 Chetly Zarko, in his Speaking Out editorial, demonstrated that he had thoroughly researched the issues." Turner became the President of the National Bar Association, and was President of the Michigan Bar at the time.

Cook Report on the Internet, NSFNET Expose. January, 1995. by Chetly Zarko.

An historical study of U-M's involvement in the early development of the Internet. Raises questions of cost overruns, bidding favoritism and collusion with IBM, inappropriate corporate-university-government relationships, and the secret privatization of public property.

Analyzing the Economic Impact of Military Expenditure Across the Third World. April, 1993. Honors thesis to graduate from the University of Michigan.

Cross-sectional meta-analysis of the statistical literature examining how military expenditure both harms and benefits different Third World economies.  Concludes that a curvilinear relationship pattern of effects is seen - that is the least developed nations are harmed most by expenditure (by siphoning off what little human capital that does exist), moderately developed nations harmed less (or actually benefit through a Keynesian "pump priming" and utilizing unused capacity), and that advanced economies are harmed more than the moderately developed (by siphoning off talent that is otherwise needed in an information economy at near full capacity).  Regardless of positive effects, this conclusion says nothing about whether there are other government programs that might have even more positive supply-creation or Keynesian-like effects.
