Founder Steve Barr repaid close to $51,000 to Green Dot Public Schools after an internal review initiated by the charter operator found that he had been reimbursed for inappropriate expenses and lacked the required receipts for others. Meanwhile, a state audit found that a former official with the financially crippled California State University system had received more than $150,000 for inappropriate expenses, including a small number of double reimbursements. David J. Ernst, the former chief of information technology services at CSU who now works for the University of California, will repay less than $2,000 -- only the expenses for which he was reimbursed twice or was otherwise overpaid."
