Apart from being libelous to deny that a student had received an education, they should still be able to demonstrate knowledge, provide a graduation photo etc.

Ok, so, don't libel.

"We refuse to confirm or deny"

Or

"We see that person in our records, but, we aren't allowed to disclose if they did/did not complete a degree (and what that degree might be) because their account is blocked."

There are lots of ways that it can be tweaked to be legal. I still think it's not as good of an idea as clawing money back from the schools. They created the mess, they can fix it.
