No, its a reminder to turn on the built in security features in your devices like per use MAC address randomization.
I dont know how it is on stock android, but when you turn on normal MAC randomization for a connection, then it will create a random MAC for that network but it will stay the same for that network indefinitely. So you could still be tracked across campus. To prevent that you need to turn on this setting show in the screenshot which will randomize the MAC every time you reconnect to a network with randomization enabled.

These aren’t open wifi connections where any of this would help, you connect using your university credentials.

Thats true i guess, i didnt consider that because i use shared credentials with a bunch of people on my campus.
