Nah you're confused, still.

Libertarianism doesn't say anything about opinions, lifestyle choices, beliefs, habits, vices, etc. It just means you cant use violence to impose those things on someone else.
Am I calling for the govt to step in and ban the use of jazz hands? No, thats a statist tact (very familiar to you I'm sure).

Am I within libertarian bounds to critique social justice silliness? absolutely.
If the school admin. wanted to ban the use of jazz hands it too would be within libertarian principles.

Not sure what bumpy ride you’re talking about considering they are attending the top university in the world. They will be just fine.

the students are in for a bumpy ride when they leave the oxford comfort dome for real life
I'd love to see a student immediate sue them because "jazz hands" gives them anxiety.

Then another sue them for whatever they change to next...and so forth.

Why do I get the feeling some of the oxford students will ignore this stupidity?

They will demand UBI, Student Loan payoffs, free housing and all the other Socialist programs since the rich have so much money and "Capitalism" sucks.

A whole generation of incompetent losers are coming out of our Colleges.
