I think the disconnect that many of us have is that there seemed to have been time to do this the right way... and if it had been done the right way, I would have thought there would have been a more formal announcement by this point.

If Niele was in fact the known heir apparent, once Muffet made up her mind or was leaning heavily toward retirement, she and Jack and Niele herself should have figured out what the plans were for the assistants. If Niele wanted to replace Beth, then Jack and Muffet should have worked on getting her a soft landing spot.

At many big law firms, that's what they will typically do for an associate who ultimately isn't partner material, unless the associate has done something truly egregious. For someone who has given so much to the University, Beth was owed at least that much.

Again, I hope you are right...maybe all of this was done and Beth just needs more time to think about it...the whole thing just seems odd.
