Maybe instead of hiring more administrators or building a luxury dorm, the university could build a parking garage. It's not like the number of students who need to park is unknown. If you know there's 1000 students who need to park and only 500 parking spots for them, randomly charging half of them exorbitant fines does not seem like a good solution.

"Number if students who need to park" is not a fixed number. Some of the students parking might have alternative ways to get to school, but will choose to drive if parking is free. Others might have no good alternatives and need to drive. How do we encourage the people who can walk or ride a bike to school to do that instead of drive? By charging for parking. Also, not sure where you get the "charge half of them at random a large fine" bit from... they are fining people who park without buying a permit, not randomly.
