Only if you leave everything in its default state. By default each
user has their display associated with the factory profile generated
at boot time based on information returned by the display. So if you
create ten users and don't change any of their System Prefs - Displays
- Profile settings, they'll all have the same display profile, being
the factory profile.
Otherwise there is not a way to enforce all users of a machine to use a
specific profile. Your best bet is to place a calibrated profile in
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ and have each user choose that.
You could instead place limits on the users, preventing them from
changing any system preferences. It's a bit draconian for a university
setting, maybe just telling the students to use a specific profile
would be better.
In Panther there will be a way for an admin user to create a profile
and have that be the default profile for any new users, and for any
user which has not already chosen a specific profile for the display.
