You have to control access to condor_submit if you want to control setting AccountingGroup.

mv condor_submit condor_submit.sto
cat >> condor_submit << EOF
#!/bin/sh
condor_submit $* -a +AccountingGroup="$(special_lookup $USER)"
EOF

Of course, the clever user will just call condor_submit.sto, and to those users you enact social policy. Compare AccountingGroup vs Owner on jobs in the queue or history file and track people down.

*@mich.edu isn't a valid AccountingGroup. You set the AccountingGroup to mich_edu.user at submit time for all your @mich.edu users.
