In this case the reference is a primary source that says "these people go to this university." A perfectly good reference to cite when saying "this person goes to this university." That's hardly a creative act of information synthesis.
*Provided* there is only one person in the world with that name, and provided that the source actually does say they go to that university rather than being, say, a bare list of names. Oh, hey! It's a bare list of names that doesn't actually say they are studying there. Helloooo novel synthesis :o)
