Adjunct Faculty Pool - Communication
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.

- The intent of this job description... (boilerplate) maybe we can drop as it's generic.
- Candidates who are called for an interview must notify HR... (application instruction) maybe drop as per instruction: remove application instructions.
- First consideration will be given to current Southwest Tennessee Community College employees who meet the minimum qualifications for the position. (substantive? maybe keep as part of qualifications? It's a hiring preference.)

- Also there is a link: "A Summary Of Our Benefits Can Be Found Below https://www.southwest.tn.edu/hr/benefits-overview.php" This is a benefits reference but not actual benefits listed. According to rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It only gives a link, not actual benefits. So we should not create a Benefits section. However we could maybe include a short paragraph referencing that benefits summary is available via link? The rule says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does not state benefits, just a link. So we should not create a Benefits heading. We could include the link in a paragraph maybe under About the role? But it's basically a reference; we could include as a short p: "For a summary of benefits, see https://www.southwest.tn.edu/hr/benefits-overview.php". That is not inventing detail; it's preserving the link. That seems okay.
- Pay: The posting states "The amount of pay per credit hour for this adjunct position is $640." That's specific pay info. So we should create a Pay section with that detail. Use
Pay
and then $640 per credit hour.
- Schedule: Not explicitly stated; only mentions part-time, day/evening/weekend, term-by-term. No explicit schedule like "Fall/Spring/Summer". Could we create Schedule section? The posting says: "Future teaching assignments are on a term-by-term basis, which may include fall, spring and summer." That's schedule info. So we could create Schedule section with that detail. However rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state term-by-term basis may include fall, spring, summer. So we can include Schedule.
- Benefits: Not stated; only link. So we should not create Benefits section.
- About the role: Could include the introductory description about the college and mission. Could be "About the role" or "About the institution". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have About the role (maybe summarizing the role and institution). We'll include a paragraph about Southwest Tennessee Community College mission, campuses, etc.
- Responsibilities: Could combine Job Summary and Job Duties? The Job Summary includes responsibilities; Job Duties list specifics. We'll create Responsibilities section with a - list of duties (maybe combine both). Ensure we preserve all substantive info.
- Requirements: Could include Minimum Qualifications and maybe the preference for current employees. We'll create Requirements section with
- for each bullet.
- Qualifications: Might be similar to Requirements; but we have both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. The instruction list includes both Requirements and Qualifications as separate headings. We need to decide what to put where. Usually Requirements = minimum qualifications, Qualifications = preferred qualifications. Here we have minimum qualifications and also knowledge, skills, abilities. Could treat Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities as Skills section. So we can have:
- About the role: intro paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (from Job Duties and maybe Job Summary).
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (education + experience).
- Skills: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities list.
- Pay: $640 per credit hour.
- Schedule: term-by-term basis, may include fall, spring, summer.
We should not repeat the job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We need to remove duplicated lines: The posting had duplicate sentence about adjunct instructor responsibilities repeated. We'll deduplicate.
We need to remove application instructions: like "At the time of application, applicants should be prepared to upload a cover letter, resume/CV, references list, statement of teaching philosophy, & an unofficial transcript." Also "Candidates who are called for an interview must notify Human Resources..." etc. Also "First consideration will be given to current Southwest Tennessee Community College employees..." maybe we keep as part of Requirements? It's a hiring preference, not an instruction to apply. Could be considered substantive. We'll keep it as a note under Requirements maybe.
We need to remove EEO boilerplate etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information: So we need to keep the description of the college, mission, campuses, etc. Also the statement about part-time adjunct faculty position, pay per credit hour, not guarantee of open position, applications accepted continuously, reviewed when openings, future teaching assignments term-by-term, postings close yearly Jan 31, need to re-apply each year. That's substantive about the position; maybe we can put that under About the role or Responsibilities? It's more about the position nature. Could be part of About the role. We'll include a paragraph summarizing that.
We also need to keep the statement about "The Adjunct Instructor is responsible for the coordination, planning, preparation, presentation, and evaluation of classroom instruction and related activities." That's responsibility.
We need to keep the list of duties exactly as given (maybe we can combine similar). We'll produce a
- for each duty.
We need to keep the Minimum Qualifications exactly as given: "Master’s degree with a major in speech, oratory/rhetoric or communication or 18 graduate semester hours in speech, oratory/rhetoric or communication a master’s degree in any discipline. Minimum two (2) years teaching experience in higher education or one (1) year teaching experience and three (3) years employment in the field." The phrasing is a bit awkward; we need to preserve it exactly. We'll put as a
- .
We need to keep Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities exactly as given: list of items separated by periods. We'll split into
- items.
We need to keep the statement about "The intent of this job description is to provide a representation..." maybe we can drop as it's generic boilerplate. It's not substantive? It's a disclaimer about job description. Might be considered boilerplate; we can drop.
We need to keep the statement about "Employees may be directed to perform job-related tasks other than those specifically presented in this description." That's also generic; maybe drop.
We need to keep the statement about "Candidates who are called for an interview must notify Human Resources in writing at least five (5) days in advance of any reasonable accommodation needed prior to the date of the interview." That's application instruction; drop.
We need to keep the statement about "First consideration will be given to current Southwest Tennessee Community College employees who meet the minimum qualifications for the position." Keep as part of Requirements maybe.
We need to keep the statement about "In order to be considered for the position, the following items must be uploaded: Resume Cover letter Unofficial Transcripts" drop.
We need to keep the statement about "Incomplete applications will not be considered." drop.
We need to keep the TBR nondiscrimination statement drop.
We need to keep the link for benefits summary: we can include a p under About the role or maybe a separate Benefits? But we decided not to create Benefits section. We'll include a p: "For a summary of benefits, see https://www.southwest.tn.edu/hr/benefits-overview
