How do they enforce the ban? Do universities have non-compete clauses for PhD students?

I assume it's not that kind of ban, but more like he'll recommend his students to avoid the company.

Pretty much. Plus, from my perspective - if a company is willing to screw over your advisor/professor, you know that they won't hesitate to screw you over too.

I think that just means they aren’t allowed at career fairs etc.
