If my company co-owns a patent with a university, and the university's inventor leaves, do I still need a license from them? More importantly, is there a clever fix here?

If you are co-owners of a patent, I presume that the inventor assigned his rights to the invention to both your company and the university. Co-assignees of a patent are free to work the patent as they see fit - you can sell your share of the patent, you can license the patented technology to anyone, and the like. As a co-owner, you do not need a license from the university. I would ensure that the inventor actually assigned the rights to the invention to both you and the university and that the assignment has been recorded at the USPTO.
