They are taking courses elsewhere but they are not enrolled as full time students. If Duke doesn't release their transcripts, for academic purposes, their Duke coursework doesn't exist and they cannot use it as a basis for transferring and enrolling as a full time student elsewhere.

Well, they can enroll anywhere else full-time, and I'm not sure about whether Duke would be able to withhold the transfer of their transcripts to a new school. There would be no legal basis for them to withhold them. So, I don't believe you are right about this. You may be, but I don't think so.
