Let's craft.
First, About the role: combine role description and college context.
Paragraph: "St. Olaf College seeks a values‑forward, innovative Chief Information Officer (CIO) to serve as a trusted advisor to the provost, president, and president’s leadership team on the role of information and library resources in institutional and academic strategy, enrollment, and student success. The CIO will oversee a team of 55 talented staff and report to Provost Dr. Tarshia L. Stanley, with nine direct reports spanning enterprise IT and the academic library. Reporting to the provost, the CIO will manage both enterprise IT strategy and academic library leadership, advance cybersecurity and data governance after evaluating institutional risks, and develop information and technology strategies that advance the college’s mission to “challenge students to excel in the liberal arts, examine faith and values, and explore meaningful vocation in an inclusive, globally engaged community nourished by Lutheran tradition.” St. Olaf is a nationally ranked private liberal arts institution in Northfield, Minnesota (45 minutes from the Twin Cities), founded in 1874, a member of the Network of ELCA Colleges and Universities, enrolling over 3,000 students each year with over 95% living on campus, and accredited by the Higher Learning Commission."

We should not include schedule.
Check for any duplicated lines: we have not.
Check for any boilerplate: we removed EEO, nondiscrimination, application instructions, links to apply, etc. We kept mention of Brettschneider? No, we removed.
Check for any mention of "Please submit all applications..." we removed.
Check for any mention of "For Staff Application Assistance..." we removed.
Check for any mention of "A link to our Community and Belonging page..." we removed.
Check for any mention of "To provide a safe and secure educational environment..." we removed (that's background check). That's maybe substantive? It's about hiring process; could be considered boilerplate? It's a statement about verification and background check. Might be considered legal/boilerplate. The instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Background check could be considered legal but maybe not EEO. However it's a standard hiring practice; could be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove.
Check for any mention of "St. Olaf College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC)" we kept in About the role.
Check for any mention of "St. Olaf College is a member of the Network of ELCA Colleges and Universities (NECU)" we kept.
