I find it hard to believe that the univ did not know the caliber of the work .
What a great line from Donna Strickland (who just won the Physics Nobel for her work on chirped pulse amplification). In any case, I suspect there was a rather rushed promotion decision effectively made yesterday by the Faculty, and some slightly red faces.https://twitter.com/mandydennison/status/1047882345829883905 …

To receive an award or promotion of any sort, you have to apply for it, or the person forcing it on you risks disappointment. Respect her agency.

If the offer to promote was made and a choice given to her to fill the paperwork and she didn’t , that would seem a fair comment , IMHO. Nobel caliber work stands out whether it does get it eventually or not.

I’m told is surprisingly common to avoid undesired responsibilities with very little upside. Know at least two people who did the same.

Depends on the place. Can involve a noticeable salary raise. Of course, some may consider that "very little upside".
