The command line tool remove_members will do this as in

bin/remove_members --fromall student at example.com

see

bin/remove_members --help

for more info.

The problem with the above is that if the same Mailman installation is
used for lists in multiple departments, the above will remove
student at example.com from all lists in all departments. I don't know
any other way to do this within Mailman.

You could create some process to use bin/list_members to create list by
list membership lists and manipulate that to create your global list.
Then you could just maintain your global list and perhaps reverse the
process to create new membership lists for the mailing lists and run
bin/sync_members to update the mailing list membership from these
lists.
