No, you are not doing anything wrong. Form 1099-NEC has been around since 2020. Prior to that, income that is now reported on Form 1099-NEC was reported on Form 1099-MISC. The university that your wife has been doing work for should have been issuing her a 1099-NEC the past several years, and your wife should have been filing Schedule C as an independent contractor.
