If they paid you more than $600, then they'll need you to pay taxes
through them to cover their butts, I think. I am assuming that the
amount they shuold have paid you was under $600? In that case, if
it's possible, write them a check for the whole amount they paid you
and then have them reissue a check for the proper amount. This
should clear things up if you can get them to go for it.
If not, I wouldn't screw up any further gigs with this high-paying
place by withholding their money even temporarily. It could have
repercussions farther down the line when people talk to each other
about you. Just ask for the amount taxed to be the correct amount.
Universities are terribly bureaucratic, but many of the employees
understand that this system is not user-friendly and will try to help
if possible.
Good luck resolving this.
