That depends on if the officers were "cadets" or full on "campus police"..
The "Full on Campus Police" are actual police officers just like LAPD or whatever city you want to name.. they will probably get an incident report in their file.. perhaps some "counceling" after which they will be free to go charge up their taserz...
If the officers involved (the tazing officers) were cadets.. I'm pretty sure that their contract will not be renewed.

Universities are businesses.. if they piss off the student population their enrollment suffers (not really likely at UCLA but the admin must keep up appearances). The fact is.. the whole situation could have been avoided if the student had just used a bit more sense and not been so antagonistic towards the police.
Dont get me wrong.. I definately think the repeated tazing was excessive, ... but so was the students attitude.
