4. Kudos to her if this is the battle she wants, but "doing research"

at a top-tier university is still about bringing in research grant money where "teaching" can be minimal if it is done well. I didn't read the article, but she could well be leaving the search committees unconvinced of her potential for this key role.

To my knowledge, smaller universities and colleges are very geared toward teaching careers, giving students a personal experience, and especially involving undergraduates in research. I know men and women who opted for this path.
