Associate Director of Financial Aid Systems and Operations

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About the University", "About the Department", "About the Position", "Duties / Responsibilities", "Supervision and Personnel Management", "Reporting and Budget Responsibility", "Miscellaneous". We need to use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). But we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. The headings we can use: "About the University", "About the Department", "About the Position", "Duties / Responsibilities", "Supervision and Personnel Management", "Reporting and Budget Responsibility", "Miscellaneous". However the instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we should map content to those generic headings, but we can also use the actual headings from posting? The instruction: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings if they exist; but we can also use other headings? It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they want us to use those exact headings when appropriate. However the posting has sections like "About the University", "About the Department", "About the Position", "Duties / Responsibilities", "Supervision and Personnel Management", "Reporting and Budget Responsibility", "Miscellaneous". Those are not exactly the list but similar. We could map: "About the University" -> maybe "About the role"? Not exactly. But we could keep the actual headings as they are, still using

. The instruction didn't forbid using other headings; it just gave examples. So we can use the actual headings. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. The job title is "Associate Director of Financial Aid Systems and Operations". We should not put that as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes some EEO language: "We encourage applications from women, people of color, people with disabilities, veterans, and other candidates from underrepresented backgrounds..." That's EEO boilerplate; we should remove it. Also the part about "Western supports an inclusive governance structure..." maybe also boilerplate but it's part of mission; but could be considered generic. However it's part of "About the University" description; it's substantive? It's about inclusive governance; might be considered boilerplate but it's part of the university description. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should remove that sentence encouraging applications from underrepresented groups. Also maybe remove "Western supports an inclusive governance structure..."? That's more about mission; not EEO. Might keep. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content. Sections: About the University: paragraph describing WWU: over 15,000 students, seven colleges and graduate school, nationally recognized, location Bellingham, etc. Additional sites. Recognized for top public master's-granting institutions. Commitment to excellence etc. We'll keep as prose. About the Department: The Financial Aid Department supports Western's mission... We encourage applications from women... (EEO) remove that sentence. Keep rest: "We encourage applications from women, people of color, people with disabilities, veterans, and other candidates from underrepresented backgrounds and with diverse experiences interested in this opportunity." That's EEO; remove. So after removal, maybe nothing left? The sentence is the only content? Actually the paragraph: "The Financial Aid Department supports Western's mission, which states that together with our students, staff, and faculty, we are committed to making a positive impact in the state and the world with a shared focus on academic excellence and inclusive achievement. We encourage applications from women, people of color, people with disabilities, veterans, and other candidates from underrepresented backgrounds and with diverse experiences interested in this opportunity." So after removing EEO sentence, we have first sentence about mission. Keep that. About the Position: description of role, responsibilities, reporting, supervises, etc. Keep. Duties / Responsibilities: large block with many bullet-like sentences. We need to convert to

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are presented as paragraphs with sentences; we can treat each sentence as a list item? The instruction: use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should wrap the duties in a
      with each duty as
      • . We need to parse the duties section into distinct items. The duties section includes many sentences separated by periods. We can split by sentences. But we must preserve all substantive information; not lose detail. We'll create
      • for each distinct duty statement. Similarly Supervision and Personnel Management: list of supervisory responsibilities; we can make
        . Reporting and Budget Responsibility: also list. Miscellaneous: maybe just a sentence fragment "Serves as a representative o" truncated? Actually the posting ends abruptly: "Serves as a representative o". Likely incomplete; we should keep as is? It's incomplete; maybe it's a mistake. We should keep the text as given, but it's incomplete. We'll include as prose. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Not present. Now produce HTML.

        Now we need to extract the exact text. Let's copy the relevant sections from the posting. About the University: "Western Washington University, with over 15,000 students in seven colleges and the graduate school, is nationally recognized for its educational programs, students and faculty. The campus is located in Bellingham, Washington, a coastal community of 90,000 overlooking Bellingham Bay, the San Juan Islands and the North Cascades Mountain range. The city lies 90 miles north of Seattle and 60 miles south of Vancouver, British Columbia. Western has additional sites in Anacortes, Bremerton, Everett, Port Angeles, and Poulsbo. Western is recognized nationally for its successes, such as being named one of the top public master's-granting institutions in the Pacific Northwest for 25 years in a row by U.S. News & World Report. Western Washington University is committed to achieving excellence through advancing inclusive success, increasing our Washington impact, and focusing on transformational education grounded in the liberal arts and sciences and based on innovative scholarship, research, and creative activity. Western's greatest strength is the outstanding students, faculty, staff, and alumni/ae who make up its community. Western supports an inclusive governance structure for all and provides a learning and working environment in which everyone can thrive. In pursuit of this excellence, individual employees are expected to establish and maintain productive and effective inclusive working relationships amongst diverse populations including staff, faculty, administration, student, and external constituents. Further, individual employees are expected to have the ability to operationalize sustainability concepts (economic, societal, environmental) into all aspects of performing their job duties." We'll keep all that. About the Department: "The Financial Aid Department supports Western's mission, which states that together with our students, staff, and faculty, we are committed to making a positive impact in the state and the world with a shared focus on academic excellence and inclusive achievement." We removed the EEO sentence. About the Position: "The Associate Director of Financial Aid Systems and Operations has high level leadership responsibility for Western Washington University, directing the Systems and Operations enterprises for Financial Aid. The Associate Director reports to the Executive Director of Financial Aid (ED-Fin Aid), providing strategic administration of student financial aid programs through the effective implementation, configuration, and management of financial aid software for the Financial Aid department and by oversight of application processing flow, systems documentation, and staff training.
