SAN DIEGO
Michael Schroder, the former dean of extended studies at Cal State San Marcos who racked up tens of thousands of dollars in improper travel billings, is now under criminal investigation by the San Diego County district attorney’s office, university officials said.
Schroder, who left the campus after the San Diego Union-Tribune disclosed his lavish spending practices in 2019, also is being asked to make restitution for expenses that did not meet university standards, a Cal State San Marcos spokeswoman confirmed.
“Unfortunately I’m not able to provide details on the amount of requested restitution, the time period for which it is sought, or any further information provided to the District Attorney’s Office related to Mr. Schroder due to the criminal investigation that is ongoing,” Margaret Chantung, the school’s chief communications officer, said by email.

Officials at Cal State San Marcos plan to add the name of their recently retired president to a university institute that is already named after the well-known philanthropist Darlene Shiley and some students are less than pleased.
The name change, which is expected to take effect later this year, was actually agreed to two years ago, when Shiley and the university first reached an agreement to name the CSU Shiley Institute for Palliative Care in the donor’s honor, officials said.
“At the time, it was the wish of Mrs. Shiley to also acknowledge Karen Haynes in the naming following the requisite two-year period post-retirement for an individual who has served the CSU in an administrative capacity,” spokeswoman Margaret Chantung said in an email.
