Password Cracking & Consequences

We are looking for any advice on the consequences other institutions impose
on faculty and staff when their password is cracked by IT.  For instance, is
it a zero-tolerance system where your password is automatically reset and
you must show up at the Helpdesk to have it reset?  Or, is it a graduated
series of consequences, a la "Three Strikes and You're Out,"  e.g.,
disciplinary action, network restrictions, etc.  Any other configurations?

Anything anyone could provide would be helpful.  Trying not to reinvent the
wheel!
