Sure, and I apologize for not listing too detailed of resources. I am only citing verified research journals and publications below to ensure proper information.
The National Institutes of Health have conducted little research on the effects of long covid on children and young people, in comparison to adults. However, recent studies conclude that nearly 50% of children aged 6-16 who have contracted covid are suffering from at least one of the symptoms of long-covid, with nearly 43% of those children facing difficulty in daily activities because of their symptoms. Now, I realize this is not representative of our student population, unless there are secretly much younger students than I expected.
UK studies found that approximately 10% of patients with covid (18-49 years old) will be affected by long-covid. While 10% seems like a small number, it surely isn't. In my opinion, once anyone becomes affected by such an awful condition, we should take public health measures to prevent the virus from spreading.
Given that most young people do recover from covid, hopefully most fully, there are situations that affect their quality of life. Hopefully if you are interested, you may consult the NCBI.NIH.gov site, they have quite interesting research articles on these topics!

And as a side note: the comment about the university being happy was not intended in that manner, more as knowing our university, I surely assume they do not want to spend unnecessary money.
