I think the article mentions Uber just gave CMI $5.5 million. Maybe that's User's way of compensating them. Certainly it makes sense to maintain a good relationship with the talent pipeline.

Not that long, because plenty of excellent young researchers (though by no means all) would join a skeleton department with the Harvard name attached.
