      Here’s the problem with that, when your university is trying to hire the foremost expert in (field of study) and they are not from the US, that means there isn’t an American that can fill that role. H-1B visas are how that gets done. Why would you hire less than the best?

        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.
