Adjunct Faculty Pool - Computer Information Technology
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - Job Summary (description of part-time adjunct faculty position). Could map to "About the role". - Job Duties (list of duties) -> Responsibilities. - Minimum Qualifications -> Qualifications. - Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities -> Skills. - Pay: amount of pay per credit hour $640 -> Pay section. - Benefits: mention "A Summary Of Our Benefits Can Be Found Below" with link. That's a benefits reference; we can include Benefits section with that link. - Schedule: not explicitly given; only says part-time, may include day/evening/weekend, term-by-term. Not specific schedule; we should not create Schedule unless posting actually states them. It says "Future teaching assignments are on a term-by-term basis, which may include fall, spring and summer." That's somewhat schedule info but not specific. Probably we should not create Schedule section because not explicit schedule like "Monday-Friday 9-5". Safer to omit. - Also we have Employee Classification, Institution, Department, Campus Location, Job Summary etc. Some metadata like Employee Classification, Institution, Department, Campus Location could be folded into a short
or dropped. We'll include a short paragraph with those details. We must not repeat job title as heading. We'll not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, nondiscrimination, application instructions (like upload cover letter etc) - but we need to preserve substantive information. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. However some 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." That's application instruction; we should remove it. Also "Incomplete applications will not be considered." Remove. Also "First consideration will be given to current Southwest Tennessee Community College employees..." Might be considered substantive? It's about hiring preference; maybe keep? It's not boilerplate but it's about selection. Might keep as part of About the role? Could be considered part of qualifications? Probably we can keep as a note in About the role. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the pay per credit hour $640, the benefits link, the duties list, qualifications, skills, etc. We need to format lists with

We should not include Schedule section. Check for any duplicated lines: we removed duplicates like "The adjunct instructor is responsible for performing assigned duties during the day, evening, or weekend on any Southwest Tennessee Community College campus." which appeared twice; we kept only one mention in responsibilities? Actually we didn't include that line explicitly; but we covered day/evening/weekend in responsibilities? Not exactly. The responsibility list didn't include that line. However the original had that line duplicated; we might need to include the responsibility about performing assigned teaching duties during day, evening, or weekend on any campus. That is substantive. Let's add a responsibility item: "Performs assigned teaching duties during the day, evening, or weekend on any Southwest Tennessee Community College campus." Add to responsibilities list. Also we have "At a minimum, the related activities include instruction, academic advising, serving on various committees, participating in professional activities and organizations." That's somewhat covered by other items but we could add a responsibility: "Performs related activities including instruction, academic advising, serving on various committees, and participating in professional activities and organizations." However we already have committee participation and professional development. Might be redundant but we can keep as separate item if not duplicate. To avoid duplication, we can incorporate into existing items: we already have "Participates in departmental and college committees; provides outreach service to the community." and "Keeps abreast of developments ... professional conferences." The academic advising is covered by office hours. So maybe fine. We also have "Maintains office hours for students seeking academic advice, assists in student recruitment and retention; and assists students with course-related problems outside of the classroom." Already there. We also have "Attends all faculty meetings, college assemblies, professional development and orientation activities, and other meetings as called by the President, Dean or Department Chair." Already there. We also have "Keeps abreast of developments in the field by reading current literature, talking with colleagues, and participating in professional conferences." Already there. We also have "Participates in departmental and college committees; and provides outreach service to the community." Already there. Thus fine. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed those paragraphs. Check for any leftover boilerplate: The paragraph about "The intent of this job description is to provide a representation..." that's boilerplate; we should remove. Also "Employees may be directed to perform job-related tasks other than those specifically presented in this description." That's boilerplate; remove. Also "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; remove. Also "First consideration will be given to current Southwest Tennessee Community College employees who meet the minimum qualifications for the position." We kept that in About the role. Good. Also "In order to be considered for the position, the following items must be uploaded: Resume Cover letter Unofficial Transcripts" That's application instruction; remove. Also "Incomplete applications will not be considered." Remove. Also the nondiscrimination statement and contact info; remove. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The job summary about part-time, adjunct faculty position, amount of pay per credit hour $640, posting not guarantee, applications accepted continuously, reviewed by department chair when openings become available, future teaching assignments term-by-term, postings close yearly Jan 31, need to re-apply each year. Some of that is substantive about the nature of the posting. Should we include that? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should include details about posting not guarantee, continuous basis, reviewed by chair, term-by-term, postings close yearly Jan 31, need to re-apply each year. Those are not boilerplate; they are specific to the posting. However some might be considered application instructions? They are about the process. The instruction says remove application instructions. But those are more about the posting mechanics, not how to apply. The line "Applications for part-time faculty positions are accepted on a continuous basis and reviewed by the department chair when openings become available." That's substantive about hiring process. "Future teaching assignments are on a term-by-term basis, which may include fall, spring and summer." Already covered in About the role. "Postings close yearly on January 31; to maintain your application within the system, you will need to re-apply each year." That's also substantive about the posting lifecycle. Should we keep? The instruction says remove application instructions. This is not exactly an instruction to apply; it's about the posting schedule. I'd keep it in About the role. Also "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." That's application instruction; remove. Thus we need to incorporate the posting details into About the role paragraph. Let's rewrite About the role to include: - Southwest Tennessee Community College description. - This is a part-time Adjunct Faculty position in Department of Technologies (Computer Information Technology) at multiple campus locations. - The amount of pay per credit hour for this adjunct position is $640. (But we have Pay section separate; we could keep it there and not repeat. However we might mention it in About the role briefly? Better to keep Pay separate and not duplicate. The About the role can mention it's a part-time adjunct position; pay details go to Pay section. - "THIS POSTING IS NOT A GUARANTEE OF AN OPEN POSITION." Keep. - "Applications for part-time faculty positions are accepted on a continuous basis and reviewed by the department chair when openings become available." - "Future teaching assignments are on a term-by-term basis, which may include fall, spring and summer." - "Postings close yearly on January 31; to maintain your application within the system, you will need
