We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove navigation/legal etc. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not invent. We need to parse the posting. Content: Intro paragraph about South University, location, etc. That's about the role? Actually it's description of institution. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the university". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can decide which sections are appropriate. We have: - Position Summary: Instruct and facilitate meaningful learning... etc. That's responsibilities. - Essential Functions: list of duties (many bullet-like sentences). Those are responsibilities. - Required Qualifications: list of qualifications. - Work Environment: description. - Also mention "South University is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." that's boilerplate EEO, should be removed. - Also mention "Reasonable accommodations may be made..." that's part of work environment maybe. - Also mention "Ability to physically work in the United States..." etc. - Also mention "Computing - ability to access a personal computer..." etc. - Also mention "Office Hours - ability to hold required office hours..." - Also mention "Orientation participation -ability to complete the New Faculty Orientation..." - Also mention "Willingness to work in an accelerated learning format..." - Also mention "Willingness to attend meetings as required by the respective department." Thus we need to extract sections. Potential sections: - About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph about South University and the position supporting Online Student Support Center in Pittsburgh, PA. Could be considered "About the role". We'll include that. - Responsibilities: combine Position Summary and Essential Functions (list). We'll output as
  • items. - Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications and other requirements like licensure, experience, etc. Could be "Qualifications". The instruction includes both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide which to use. Since we have "Required Qualifications" heading in original, we can use

    Qualifications

    and list items. Could also have Requirements separate but we can combine. - Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we have computing ability, office hours, etc. Could be considered skills. But we might not have a distinct skills section; we could omit if no specific skill list. - Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not mentioned specifically. No pay or benefits info. So we should not include those sections. - Work Environment: we could include as a section maybe "Work Environment". Not in the list of allowed headings but we could treat as "About the role"? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but not exclusive? It says "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should map content to those headings. Work Environment could go under Responsibilities or About the role? Probably under Responsibilities (as part of job). But we can also create a separate section if we think it's needed but not in list; better to stick to given headings. Thus we will have:

    About the role

    with paragraph describing South University and the position supporting Online Student Support Center in Pittsburgh, PA.

    Responsibilities

    with
    • items covering Position Summary and Essential Functions.

      Qualifications

      with
      • items covering Required Qualifications and other requirements (experience, licensure, computing, office hours, orientation, willingness, etc.) We should not include Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. Intro paragraph: "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.

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 should keep that as About the role. Now Responsibilities: Position Summary and Essential Functions. Position Summary sentences: "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." Essential Functions list (each sentence seems a separate function). Let's extract each as bullet. - 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. We'll include all. Now Qualifications: Required Qualifications paragraph plus other requirements.

We need to turn each into bullet items. Note: Some lines have hyphen or colon. We'll just make bullet. We should not include boilerplate EEO etc. Now we need to output HTML fragment only. Let's craft:
