bindings for many-to-many

I have a set of entities with a many-to-many relationship, let's call them
Departments and Professors.  Professors can belong to zero or more
departments.  I have a table view for departments, allowing one department
to be selected at a time.  I also have
a table view for all professors, when shows the name of the professor and a
checkbox.  What I want is for the checkbox to be true when the corresponding
professor belongs to the currently selected department.

So far I've not figured out a way to do this using combinations of
NSArrayControllers.  One approach I've tried is to bind an
NSArrayController's contentArray to a boolean isProfessorInDepartment
property implemented in a custom controller class, and bind the checkbox's
table column value to that array controller.  This approach is still giving
me problems, in part because I also have to deal with multiple sets of
professors and the comings and goings of departments.  Is there a canonical
way of dealing with this sort of thing?

Thanks,
Justin
