> I find it interesting that they have a 6 year rule, when the average is around 10 years to get tenure.

I think you're interpreting this wrong; it's 6 years after the tenure decision, not 6 years to get tenure. As in, the articles says they denied her tenure back in 2004 and she would have to leave soon.

6 years is long enough that she had to have realized long ago that she would be leaving and so I'm not sure descriptions like 'snapping' is right; this seems more pre-meditated.
