There is a contradiction in the hypernyms of ewn-10237713-n "Ivy Leaguer" a student or graduate at an Ivy League school.
It has two hypernyms - ewn-10685137-n "student, pupil, educatee" a learner who is enrolled in an educational institution and ewn-09805779-n "alumnus, alumna, alum, graduate, grad" a person who has received a degree from a school (high school or college or university). The first one is a person who is still studying and the second - a person who has graduated.
Probably "Ivy Leaguer" could be divided in two synsets.

I guess splitting the synset is the only way to handle this as there is no convenient co-hypernym

The gloss is an instance of #109 (Glosses containing 'or'), which @arademaker recommends to examine globally. This is an inclusive 'or' meaning the set union of both hypernym sets.
