> entrances to Stanford's campus

Wtf?

I'm not from the US, so please bear with me, but does this mean that, if I were to study there, I wouldn't be able to enter the campus without being tracked by a private company?

Yes. But Stanford is already a private company that tracks you.

Yes, but it's not collecting excessive data and handing it over to a fascist state.

It's likely they already are. And if they aren't, they would roll over like a fat dog in heat if the feds pushed a little.
