private static Expression<Func<Student, bool>> 
ProcessCriterias(List<SearchCriteria.StringValue> clist) {
    return clist.Select(item => ProcessCriteria(item)).Aggregate(Or);
}

private static Expression<Func<T, bool>> Or<T>(Expression<Func<T, bool>> 
expr1,
                                              Expression<Func<T, bool>> 
expr2) {
    var invokedExpr = Expression.Invoke(expr2, 
expr1.Parameters.Cast<Expression>());
    return Expression.Lambda<Func<T, bool>>
          (Expression.OrElse(expr1.Body, invokedExpr), expr1.Parameters);
}


This is probably not the most efficient way to do any of this. The 
criteria API would be considerably better I think.

If you do go this route you may also want an and function:

private static Expression<Func<T, bool>> And<T>(Expression<Func<T, 
bool>> expr1,
                                               Expression<Func<T, bool>> 
expr2) {
    var invokedExpr = Expression.Invoke(expr2, 
expr1.Parameters.Cast<Expression>());
    return Expression.Lambda<Func<T, bool>>
          (Expression.AndAlso(expr1.Body, invokedExpr), expr1.Parameters);
}
