In the "Halachos of other people's money" (Rabbi Bodner) he quotes R' Zalman
Nechemia Goldberg, Pischei Choshen, as well as Shu"t Mishne Halachos as
holding that since the Rebbe has license to strike a Talmid (Yoreh Deah
245,10), it is a fortiori that he may confiscate his property. If the
desired Chinuch effect can be achieved if returned later, that should be
done. But if the effectivity is only through permanent confiscation, this is
allowed as well (R' Zalman Nechemia).
