In a week or two, after the heat has died down, he will return to his job and maybe even get promoted. Accountability is a foreign concept to government-funded individuals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At CSU San Marcos, tuition is about $8,000. Mr. Schroder could pay tuition for all five of those students for two years and still have $2,000 left to buy more expensive steaks\u2014if he really scrimped.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a failure on the part of three parties, the first being Schroder himself. No one should be allowed to waste that much taxpayer money and a firing ought to be in order. Secondly, the university for its permissive behavior regarding the matter and refusal to condemn Schroder. Lastly, and most surprisingly, it is the students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a school that apparently <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/csusmchronicle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Screen-Shot-2016-02-06-at-6.15.54-PM.png\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">loves<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/campusreform\/7477\/CSU.jpg\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/0821ec8\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/2048x1443+0+0\/resize\/840x592!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fca-times.brightspotcdn.com%2F9f%2Ffa%2Fc6115bea0df85bdc987182e89246%2Fsdut-at-cal-state-san-marcos-during-20160906\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">protest<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in large numbers, the fact that only five students protested such a blatant waste is pathetic.
