for headings,
  • for lists,

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details exactly as given, but we can format into lists. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. At end there is "Penn College is committed to equal opportunity and the diversity of its workforce. H50172" - that's boilerplate; remove. Also remove "This is not a complete itemization..." etc. That's boilerplate; remove. Also remove "This job description is not an employment agreement..." etc. Remove. Now craft HTML. We'll have sections:

    Qualifications

    The qualifications overlap with the requirements listed above; the position requires the education, licensure, and experience detailed in the Requirements section.

    But we should avoid filler. The Qualifications section should have specific content; we could instead put the education and licensure under Qualifications and experience under Requirements. However we already used education in Requirements. Might be redundant. Better to split: Requirements: experience and teaching experience. Qualifications: education and licenses. Let's do that. Thus:
