First offense state wide is a warning and the true registered owner of hte tag has to pick it up from the PD - second one state wide is a revocation of handicapped permit parking...
Decal reserved spaces we get aggressive about *except* the first week or two of the term, and during finals. Fine is $15, officers try and associate the vehicle registration with a student. If they can, a flag is placed on the student record and no grades or registration for next term or graduation if they have outstanding tickets. Ones they can't associate to a particular student get stuck in a database, repeat offenders get booted. The fines from decal parking and booting to into the "President's Scholarship Fund"

My wife works for a university. One universal thing for every university is lack of parking. She has some funny stories of parents coming to plead the case of their little snowflake. One girl got a ticket once or twice a week for a semester. Her fine was well over a grand. No graduation, no transcript until it was paid in full.
I had a hip replacement last August. I got a temporary handicap permit during the recovery. It is still valid but I don't use it anymore.
