I think the liability shield is "art of the deal" shenanigans. Offer up something absurd, then "negotiate" to what you actually wanted.

I'm very much giving the benefit of the doubt, but Iowa law provides that workers'compensation is the sole remedy for typical negligence, by either employees or the employer, that results in bodily injury and/or death. A civil cause of action against the employer only accrues on a showing of gross negligence, which is a distinct claim from claims of normal negligence.

My gut instinct is that workers' compensation would cover the students here, but like I said, huge benefit of the doubt.
