A student email directory? In what way is that not original research?

I'd call that a primary source; however to link the appearance of a name in there to a known identity is original research. For instance, if a student directory included "Blacketer, Samuel Peter" (unlikely ;-) this would be a primary source for saying that someone called by that name was a student at that institution, but it would be original research to link that name to a person about whom you know some other information.

In this case the name Bona Mugabe didn't even appear where it was claimed.
