We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if there is real specific content. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. Do not include sections with filler like "commensurate with qualifications" for Pay? Actually Pay section only if posting actually states them. The posting says "Advertised Salary: commensurate with qualifications". That's not a specific number, it's vague. According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Since salary is "commensurate with qualifications", that's placeholder, so we should NOT create a Pay section. Similarly Schedule: they have "Duration of the Term: 9 months", "Appointment Percent: 100", "Work Hours Typical Hours Worked Per Week: 40". That's schedule info: term length, percent, hours per week. That is specific. So we can include a Schedule section with those details. Benefits: not mentioned. So no Benefits section. We need sections: About the role (maybe a summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe separate?), Skills (maybe not explicit). We need to decide what to include. The posting includes: Job Description (paragraph about school), then Responsibilities bullet list, then Minimum Qualifications for tenure track position, Minimum Qualifications For Non-tenure Track Position. Also includes "Department Description and Cultural Expectations". That could be About the role or maybe About the department. We'll create About the role section containing the descriptive paragraphs about the school, department, expectations. Responsibilities: bullet list as given. Requirements: maybe combine Minimum Qualifications for both tracks? Could be separate sections? The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements = minimum qualifications. Qualifications = maybe preferred qualifications? Not present. Skills = maybe proficiency in oral/written communication, etc. But we can put those under Requirements or Qualifications. Since we have both tenure track and non-tenure track qualifications, we could list them under Requirements. Could also split into two sub-sections? But we must not create extra headings beyond allowed. We can include multiple
  • under Requirements. We should not invent sections. So we will have:

    (including both tenure track and non-tenure track qualifications) Maybe also include

    with details: Duration of the Term: 9 months, Appointment Percent: 100, Work Hours Typical Hours Worked Per Week: 40, Appointment Type: Regular Faculty Status. We should not include Pay. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, contact info, apply now, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information.

Basic and professional programs are available in the Beacom School of Business, School of Law, School of Medicine, School of Education, College of Fine Arts, and the College of Arts and Sciences.The Beacom School of Business is the leading business school in South Dakota and the region offering students a quality business education that goes beyond expectations.

Now we need to avoid duplication. We'll combine overlapping info. Let's craft About the role paragraph(s) summarizing the school, department, expectations, etc. Must preserve all substantive info; we can't omit details. So we need to include all the facts: enrollment ~10k, programs, rankings, alumni, majors, graduate programs, teaching expectations, innovative curriculum, faculty involvement, accreditation, online MBA ranking, scholarships, corporate relationships. Also the earlier description about flagship school, enrollment growth, etc. We need to ensure we don't miss any.

We need to include all that in the HTML. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, contact info, apply now, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include metadata like Posting Number, Department, Physical Location, etc. Those are minor metadata; we can drop them or fold into short p. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we could include a short p with location maybe? But location is Vermillion, South Dakota. That's substantive? It's location. Could be considered minor
