The posting says Employment Status: Part Time. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with part-time. Pay: not given, so omit. Benefits: not given, omit. We also need to include location? Not a heading. Could be in a short
maybe under About the role? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include location, division, etc in a short paragraph maybe under About the role or a separate "About the role" section? The heading "About the role" is allowed. We can put location, division, position type, employment status there. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove that. We must not include application instructions (cover letter, CV, transcripts) - that's application instructions, remove. Also remove special instructions about visa etc? That's also application instructions? It's about eligibility; might be considered part of requirements? It says "Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis without the need for visa sponsorship. The University will not sponsor applicants for work visas (e.g., H-1B)." That's a requirement about work authorization. Could be included under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll keep that as a requirement. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details: teach up to 6 hours [2-3 hour courses] per semester; typical courses focus on finance, law, and leadership. Primary duties list. Minimum qualifications: doctoral degree in Higher Education required for teaching graduate level courses. Knowledge, skills & abilities list. Preferred qualifications: demonstrated success in university teaching preferred. About the university description. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's structure:

Schedule
Part‑time position.
We should not include Benefits, Pay sections as not provided. Check for any boilerplate removed: we removed EEO line, application instructions (cover letter, CV, transcripts, special instructions to applicants). We kept the work authorization requirement. We must not repeat job title as heading; we didn't. We must not include Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive information: Did we miss anything? Let's review original: - Location line: included. - Division: included. - Position Type: included. - Employment Status: included. - Grant Funded No: we omitted; it's minor metadata, can be dropped. - Pay Grade Generic Grade: omitted (minor). - Posting Close Date Open Until Filled: omitted (minor). - Special Instructions to Applicants: we removed application instructions but kept work authorization part; we incorporated that into Requirements. The rest (cover letter, CV, transcripts, ongoing basis) removed as application instructions. - Job Summary: we incorporated into About the role. - Primary Duties And Responsibilities: we made Responsibilities list. - Minimum Qualifications: we made Requirements. - Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: we made Skills list. - Preferred Qualifications: we made Qualifications. - About The University Of Southern Mississippi: we omitted? Wait we didn't include the university description. That's substantive information about the employer. Should we include? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could include a section "About the university" but not in the allowed headings list. Allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "About the university". So we might need to fold that into About the role or maybe drop? The instruction says "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a shortor drop it." The university description is not minor metadata; it's substantive. But we don't have a heading for it. Could we include it under About the role as a paragraph? Possibly yes, we can add a short paragraph about the university within About the role. However, the About the role section is meant for role info, but we can include employer description there. The instruction didn't forbid that. It said use those headings for sections; we can include extra paragraphs under those headings. So we can add a sentence about the university under About the role. Thus modify About the role paragraph to include university description: "The University of Southern Mississippi, founded in 1910, serves over 13,000 students..." etc. We must preserve all substantive information; we can include that. Let's craft About the role paragraph: Location: Hattiesburg, 118 College Drive, Hattiesburg, Mississippi 39406-0001, United States. Division: College of Education and Human Sciences. Position Type: Faculty. Employment Status: Part‑Time. Higher Education Adjunct Faculty assist with the instructional delivery of courses taken by program majors, teaching up to 6 hours (2–3‑hour courses) per semester. Typical courses focus on finance, law, and leadership. The University of Southern Mississippi, founded in 1910, serves over 13,000 students in Hattiesburg and Long Beach, at teaching and research sites across the Mississippi Gulf Coast, as well as online. It is a community‑engaged Carnegie R1 university known for research in polymer science, ocean science, spectator sports safety and security, and language intervention for children with communication disorders, among many other disciplines. That seems to capture the description. Now check we didn't miss any other substantive info: "We produce graduates ready to enter fields that are leading the way in emerging technologies through programs such as computer engineering, information technology, and ocean engineering. We’re developing the next generation of business leaders, while also responding to critical workforce shortages by producing skilled professionals in education and nursing. With a tradition of excellence in the arts, we are one of only 36 public institutions in the nation accredited in four major areas of the arts. Home to the Golden Eagles, our student-athletes compete in 17 NCAA Division I sports. With a culture marked by passion and persistence, Southern Miss is delivering graduates who are ready for life." That's also substantive. Should we include? It's a lot; we could include a summary but must not invent or summarize away detail. The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That means we cannot omit details; we must keep all. That's a problem: we cannot drop any substantive info. The university description is long; we must include all of it. But we can include it as a paragraph under About the role; we just need to include the full text. Let's copy the exact description from the posting: "Since our founding in 1910, The University of Southern Mississippi has remained dedicated to preparing students for success. We deliver programs to more than 13,000 students in Hattiesburg and Long Beach, at teaching and research sites across the Mississippi Gulf Coast, as well as online. We are a community-engaged Carnegie R1 university, earning distinction as one of the nation's leading research institutions. Southern Miss is known for pioneering work in polymer science, ocean science, spectator sports safety and security, and bringing language to children with
