    You can implement that policy using SELinux and the conditional policy
    support added by Tresys, i.e. the allow rules granting the graduate
    student domain access to the foo shared resource type are bracketed with
    a conditional on a policy boolean, and crond or some similar daemon
    toggles the boolean value at the appropriate times.
