Executive Assistant - Access, Belonging, and Student Engagement
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like current employees note, application instructions, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Position Title: Executive Assistant - Access, Belonging, and Student Engagement (but we don't repeat as heading)
- Job Category: Academic Staff
- Employment Type: Regular
- Job Profile: Executive Assistant II
- Job Duties: description (first paragraph)
- Review of applications starts on October 12, 2026 (date)
- Applications received on or before Oct 12 prioritized, review continues until filled.
- Initial interviews virtual, shortlisted invited to campus.
- UW-La Crosse does not offer H-1B or other work authorization visa sponsorship.
- Candidates must be legally authorized to work in US at time of hire and maintain.
- If questions contact HR at 608-785-8013.
Then "Key Job Responsibilities" with sub-sections: General responsibilities, Budget and financial responsibilities, Provide administrative support (long list). This is substantive.
Then "Department Access, Belonging, & Student Engagement"
Then "Compensation $60,000 / year"
Then "Required Qualifications" list.
Then "Preferred Qualifications" list.
Then "How To Apply" etc (application instructions) - we must remove application instructions per rule: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should drop the "How To Apply" section entirely.
Also "Special Notes" etc - those are application instructions, remove.
"Information about your benefits" - we need to keep benefits if substantive. It says: "Your benefits add an additional 40%+ to the overall financial package from the university. Highlights Include Paid vacation for 12-month positions. Excellent flexible health insurance with low co-pays and good coverage. Paid holidays and paid sick days. After 5 years of employment, you become vested in our retirement system which ensures income post-career. Benefits at UWL are highly competitive with local industry and some of the strongest in state and nation. Benefit eligibility is determined at the point of hire. This information is provided for illustrative purposes only. Benefits are also pro-rated based on the appointment percentage."
That's substantive benefits info. So we should include a Benefits section.
Pay: we have compensation $60,000/year. So include Pay section.
Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly; it's full-time position. The posting says "This full-time position". That could infer schedule full-time. But rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state "full-time position". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with "Full-time". However we need to check if they consider that as schedule. It says "This full-time position provides programmatic...". So yes, we can include Schedule: Full-time.
But we must avoid filler like "not specified". It's specified.
Now sections:
- About the role: maybe a brief summary of role? The posting includes a description under Job Duties (first paragraph). Could be considered About the role. We'll create About the role section with that paragraph.
- Responsibilities: we have Key Job Responsibilities with subpoints. We'll output as - each responsibility? The responsibilities are many bullet-like sentences. We'll extract each bullet as list item.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each responsibility sentence as list item.
We have three categories: General responsibilities, Budget and financial responsibilities, Provide administrative support (which itself has many bullet points). We could flatten all into a single list under Responsibilities, or we could keep subheadings? The rule only allows
for section headings; we cannot add additional headings like . So we should just have one Responsibilities section with list items covering all responsibilities. Ensure we don't lose any detail.

That's many items.
Now Requirements: The posting has "Required Qualifications" list. We'll put those under Requirements section (or Qualifications?). The rule says we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide where to put required qualifications vs preferred qualifications vs skills. Likely Required Qualifications -> Requirements section. Preferred Qualifications -> Qualifications section. Skills maybe could be derived from required/preferred but we might not need separate Skills if not explicitly listed. However there is a list of abilities like "Ability to respectfully relate, communicate, and respond to individuals with a variety of needs." etc. Those could be considered skills. But we already have Required Qualifications includes many ability statements. We could put them under Requirements. Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications. Skills maybe not needed.
But we must not create sections with filler. If we put Required Qualifications under Requirements, we need to list each item as
- . Similarly for Qualifications.

Now Benefits section: we have the paragraph about benefits. We'll put as

Pay section: compensation $60,000/year.
Schedule section: full-time.
About the role: we can use the initial job duties paragraph: "This full-time position provides programmatic and high-level administrative support to the Vice Chancellor of the Division of Access, Belonging, and Student Engagement (ABSE) and administrative support to the ABSE leadership team (Vice Chancellor, Associate Vice Chancellor, and Dean of Students/Assistant Vice Chancellor).

Successful completion of duties in the position will require gaining an understanding of the structure, staff, and responsibilities of the units within the division and their programming and working constructively with other members of the division's executive team."
We could also include the review date etc? That's more about hiring process, not role. Might be considered metadata; but we could include in About the role? Probably not needed. The rule says do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The review date etc is minor metadata; we could drop it
for section headings; we cannot add additional headings like . So we should just have one Responsibilities section with list items covering all responsibilities. Ensure we don't lose any detail.
