    Force the university to pay 10x the mean salary. That way the university is disincentivized to abuse the program. If he is truly the foremost expert in whatever field, then his salary should be a drop in the bucket compared to the grants he will need to actually do his research and it shouldn’t be a big deal.

        Some of them sure, but more often then not they hire adjunct professors, or use graduate students on visa’s to ensure they don’t have to pay tenured professors. I say if your employee is on a visa, 10x salary is the minimum. don’t want to pay 10x salary? Well America is a large place with lots of people that are unemployed and over-educated, so maybe try to give-back to the society that you rely on.
