Has anyone else had the following problem, and if so how did you solve
it?--

A visiting scholar is invited to come to the institution to work on a
research grant.  But your Affirmative Action Officer requires that the
hiring process be conducted according to the normal routine whereby a
pool of applicants is selected from.  Only in this case you don't have
a pool!  You seem to be stuck between IRS rules for treating people as
"employees" and paying them wages (as opposed to giving them a
stipend) and affirmative action rules.
