We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes a lot of description: Position Summary, Essential Functions, Required Qualifications, Work Environment (EEO etc). We need to strip boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove EEO statements. So we keep substantive info: Position Summary (maybe as About the role?), Essential Functions (Responsibilities), Required Qualifications (Qualifications), maybe Work Environment (but that includes EEO, we can drop). Also there is mention of "Online and at our 8 locations..." etc which is about the institution; could be About the role? Actually "About the role" could be the position summary and description of the university. We'll need to decide sections. We have content: - Intro paragraph about South University, location, mission, etc. This is about the institution, not the role. Could be placed under a heading like "About the University" but not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put the introductory description under About the role (makes sense). Then Position Summary could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? Probably About the role includes summary. Then Essential Functions is Responsibilities. Required Qualifications is Qualifications (or Requirements). There's also "Experience in instruction..." etc which is qualifications. Also "Membership in a professional association..." etc. Also "Active, valid, and unencumbered state licensure..." etc. Also "At least six months of teaching experience..." etc. Also "(For Online Positions Only) Willingness to work in an accelerated learning format..." etc. That's also qualifications. We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule info. So we should not create those sections. We also have "Work Environment" but that includes EEO statement; we can drop that section entirely as it's boilerplate. We must not repeat job title as heading (not present). No Job ID. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, but we can reformat into HTML. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide what constitutes a list. The Essential Functions is a long paragraph with many sentences separated by periods; could be turned into a list of duties. The Required Qualifications also is a list of bullet-like statements separated by periods. We could turn them into

    • . However we must preserve all substantive information; turning sentences into list items is okay as long as we don't lose info. The instruction: "Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So if we have duties/requirements, we should use list. The Essential Functions are duties; we can make a list. The Required Qualifications are requirements; we can make a list. We also have some prose like the introductory paragraph about the university; that can be

        . We also have Position Summary which is prose; could be

        under About the role. We need to avoid duplication: The Position Summary and Essential Functions may overlap; but we must keep all. We'll include both. Let's extract the text. First, the introductory paragraph before "Position Summary": "What's next for you is the first priority for us! With over 45 programs from associate to doctoral degrees, South University located in Savannah, GA is a private institution dedicated to providing educational opportunities that spark the intellectual, social and professional development of a diverse student population. This position supports South University’s Online Student Support Center in Pittsburgh, PA. Our 120-year story—past, present and future—is a history formed by the many individuals who have developed the education and spirit of community that have become our pledge to the students, faculty, staff, alumni and supporters of South University. Online and at our 8 locations and 2 learning sites, we take pride in our welcoming environment; one-on-one support and personalized attention that helps students define goals and identify the means to pursue them. Our small classes feature hands-on experiences that not only shape students’ skills and excellence in their chosen fields but also shape their characters through encouraging community involvement, volunteerism and the pursuit of life-long learning. Visit www.southuniversity.edu today to learn more about what makes us stand apart as a place to Belong, Believe and Become, a place where you can make a difference in the lives of students eager to learn and grow. South University, the right direction for a brighter future." We need to keep all that. It's prose. Then "Position Summary" heading (but we won't repeat as heading; we can incorporate into About the role). The Position Summary text: "Instruct and facilitate meaningful learning of the course outcomes in the curriculum and proactively support all facets of the learning environment. Provide education through learning-centered instruction that will enable graduates to fulfill the evolving needs of the marketplace. Encourage a culture of learning that values mutual responsibility and respect, life-long learning, diversity, and ethics as well as personal and professional development. Assure that the South University philosophy: quality service to students; development, growth, involvement, and recognition of employees; and an environment conducive to innovation, positive thinking, and expansion is considered in carrying out the duties and responsibilities of this position. Participate in activities that promote the stature of the academic programs, departments, and colleges and abide by the South University Board of Trustees and administration's mandates." That's prose. Then "Essential Functions" heading (we will make Responsibilities). The Essential Functions text is a long sentence with many clauses separated by periods. Let's split into separate duties: - Manage the educational process to ensure every student is involved in a positive educational experience through the learning, teaching, and social environment. - Perform faculty responsibilities as outlined in the faculty job description in accordance with the provisions of Faculty Supplement to the South University Employee Handbook. - Provide course instruction that aligns with the South University model of curricula and supports the South University style of system delivery. - Design and deliver instruction through the development of instructional plans to meet course outcomes, the development of activities that support lesson objectives, and for online courses, deliver the instruction as approved within each course shell. - Effectively utilize technology in the classroom to support the student learning experience. - Enable the achievement of pre-defined outcomes for student achievement and evaluation of learning by providing instruction that fosters proficiency and establishes student performance criteria and evaluation. - Deliver learning-centered instruction by establishing an educational environment conducive to learning and student involvement and effectively planning and preparing for classes and student success. - Promote student success by showing flexibility in style and work schedule and exhibiting a passion for teaching and students, and engaging students in the learning process. - Manage the educational environment through keeping accurate records, submitting grades and other reports on time, and enforcing academic and attendance policies consistent with the school, campus, or online division. - Relate professional/life/industry experience to learning by continuing professional/technical skills development, the introduction of industry perspective into courses, and the active awareness of professional/industry trends and opportunities. - Participate in the faculty development process to enhance knowledge, skills, and abilities in learner-centered instruction. - Communicate consistently and effectively with supervisor(s), faculty, and other South University administrators. - Contribute to a learning culture by participating in curriculum and system task forces, support local campus events such as orientation and graduation, and participate in various other workshops and meetings. That's a list. Then "Required Qualifications" heading (we will make Qualifications). The Required Qualifications text is a bit dense; we need to extract each qualification as list items. Let's parse: "Faculty teaching general education courses at the undergraduate level: doctor's or master's degree in the teaching discipline or master's degree with a concentration in the teaching discipline (a minimum of 18 graduate semester hours in the teaching discipline)." "Faculty teaching associate degree courses designed for transfer to a baccalaureate degree: doctor's or master's degree in the teaching discipline or master's degree with a concentration in the teaching discipline (a minimum of 18 graduate semester hours in the teaching discipline)." "Faculty teaching associate degree courses not designed for transfer to the baccalaureate degree: bachelor's degree in the teaching discipline or associate's degree and demonstrated competencies in the teaching discipline." "Faculty teaching baccalaureate courses: doctor's or master's degree in the teaching discipline or master's degree with a concentration in the teaching discipline (minimum of 18 graduate semester hours in the teaching discipline)." "Faculty teaching graduate and post-baccalaureate course work: earned doctorate/terminal degree in the teaching discipline or a related discipline." "Graduate teaching assistants: master's in the teaching discipline or 18 graduate semester hours in the teaching discipline, direct supervision by a faculty member experienced in the teaching discipline, regular in-service training, and planned and periodic evaluations." "Experience in instruction or formalized education process, preferably in a post-secondary or college institution." "Membership in a professional association tied to the area of instruction preferred." "Active, valid, and unencumbered state licensure or certification as applicable to the discipline." "At least six months of teaching experience at South University or another post-secondary education institution preferred, with online experience a plus (for online only)." "(For Online Positions Only) Willingness to work in an accelerated learning format, working online with students five of seven days per online week." "Willingness to attend meetings as required by the respective department." We need to keep all. Some are conditional; we keep them. We can make each as

      • . Now we need to decide headings: We have About the role (intro + Position Summary). Responsibilities (Essential Functions). Qualifications (Required Qualifications). Possibly Skills? Not explicitly listed; but some qualifications mention skills; but we don't have a separate Skills section. We'll not create Skills unless there is explicit content. There's no explicit Skills section. So we omit. We also have no Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Thus output:

        About the role

        ...intro...

        Position Summary: ...

        But we might combine intro and Position Summary into one

        or two. The instruction: use

        for prose. We can have multiple

        elements. We need to ensure we don't repeat the job title as heading; we don't have it. Now we need to strip boilerplate: The Work Environment section includes EEO statement; we drop it entirely. Also any duplicated lines: we should check for duplicates. The intro mentions "South University located in Savannah, GA". Later maybe repeats? Not seeing duplicates. Now produce HTML. Let's craft the About the role section:
