Make them hand back their diploma, strip their name from all documentation of ever having gone to the school, bar them from referencing their degree in any way.

If one of the broader benefits to society of an education is your contribution to the economy, then this would negate that benefit. Eg no one wins from having qualified doctors being unable to practice. It's punitive rather than correctional.

Dunno why you're being downvoted for this. It makes a lot of sense, but is practically useless since fewer employers will care.
