The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. "Employment Requirements" could be legal. I'd drop it.
- About University Of Minnesota: generic description; might be considered boilerplate? It's about the university. Might be considered not essential? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The university description might be considered substantive? It's generic but could be considered part of posting. However, they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Might be okay to include as "About the Department" already covers. The university description could be omitted as it's generic. But to be safe, maybe include as a brief paragraph under "About the Department" or separate? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine department and university info into one section maybe "About the Department and University". But we have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- About the role: could include supervisor, percent time, work schedule, college/admin unit, campus location, description of role (adjunct instructors teach...). That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications and Preferred? Could split into Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred) but we have both headings allowed. We'll include Required Qualifications under "Requirements" and Preferred under "Qualifications" or "Skills". The headings list includes Skills. Could put preferred under Skills.
- Benefits: retirement plan options.
- Pay: pay range.
- Schedule: work schedule/hours.
We also have Percent Time: 25% per course section. Could be part of About the role or Schedule.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not repeat job title.
We must not include headings with empty content.
We must output only HTML fragment.

Schedule
Work schedule/hours: Approximately 10 hours per week per course section.
We should also include Percent Time maybe in About the role or Schedule. Already included.
Check for any duplicated lines: we have not repeated.
We removed application instructions, diversity, employment requirements, university description.
Check for any boilerplate left: none.
All content preserved? We omitted some lines like "This position will be open on a continuous basis. Applicants may be contacted as openings arise. This position is not eligible for H-1B or Green Card Sponsorship. The Employer retains the right to change or assign other duties to this position." That's substantive? It's about position openness, sponsorship, right to change duties. Might be considered substantive. Should we keep? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that info. Where to place? Could be under About the role or a separate section like "Additional details". But we only have allowed headings list; we could add a paragraph under About the role.
Also we omitted "Continue personal development within the field..." we included that in Responsibilities.
We omitted "This position will be open on a continuous basis. Applicants may be contacted as openings arise. This position is not eligible for H-1B or Green Card Sponsorship. The Employer retains the right to change or assign other duties to this position." Let's add a paragraph under About the role after the description.
Also we omitted "Learn more at lead.umn.edu." in About The Department. We omitted department description partially; we included some but not the link. Could add a sentence: "Learn more at lead.umn.edu." under About the role or a separate About the Department section. But we don't have About the Department heading in allowed list; we could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate "About the department" but not in list. The instruction says use headings from list; we can also add other headings? It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests 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 stick to those.
Thus we incorporate department info into About the role.
Add: "The University of Minnesota undergraduate Leadership Minor is among the oldest and largest undergraduate leadership programs in the nation, celebrating over 25 years of leadership education. The Leadership Minor supports students' ability to lead toward collective liberation by analyzing systemic power imbalances, evaluating multiple leadership frameworks, building collaborative leadership skills, and developing their leader identities. Learn more at lead.umn.edu."
Add that to About the role paragraph.
Also add the position openness etc.
Let's craft final About the role paragraph:

That seems good.
