We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove all that. We must output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Let's craft. Check for any repeated content: Ensure we preserve all substantive info. Did we miss anything? The posting also mentions: "The School of Information Studies (SOIS) offers several educational programs: ..." That's substantive about the school. Should we include that? It's under College/School description. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? But we only have prescribed headings. Could include under About the role. It's relevant to role context. So we can add that description in About the role paragraph.

SOIS is committed to excellence through diversity of thought, race, gender and community.
