We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if there is real specific content. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to extract substantive info from posting. Let's parse: - Position Announcement: Working Title: Orientation and Mobility Adjunct Pool - Academic Year 2026-2027 - Department: 260150 - EDU Counselor Education Program - Position Number: D94399 - Representation: AP - AFT, Local 3571 - Position Summary: includes description of PSU, College of Education, etc. That's about the role? Could be "About the role" or "Position Summary". We'll treat as About the role. - Education: The College of Education, Department of Leadership, Learning and Counseling (LLC) invites applications for Orientation and Mobility Adjunct Instructors with expertise in following core program area: Orientation and Mobility Graduate Certificate. Then Guiding Principles list (bullets). Those could be responsibilities? Actually they are guiding principles of the program. Might be considered "Responsibilities" or "Key Cultural Competencies". There's also a section "Key Cultural Competencies" with bullet points. Also "Environmental Stewardship". Also "Required Professional Standards of Conduct". Also "Compensation" section: Adjunct faculty are hired on either a per term or an academic year basis, and paid per credit hour per the PSUFA Collective Bargaining Agreement. - Minimum Qualifications: Master’s Degree in a related field to program(s) above. Previous teaching experience. Previous O&M teaching experience with blind, visually impaired or deafblind children. Certified Orientation and Mobility Certificate (COMS). Preference is given to candidates who reside in Oregon or Washington. - Preferred Qualifications: Ph.D. in field related to program(s) above. Experience teaching adults. - Key Cultural Competencies: bullet list. - Environmental Stewardship: bullet. - Required Professional Standards of Conduct: paragraph. - Compensation: paragraph. - Application Instructions etc: we should remove. - Supplemental Questions: remove. - Applicant Documents: remove. We need to produce sections only if there is real specific content. Potential sections: - About the role: could include Position Summary description of PSU and College of Education mission, etc. - Responsibilities: maybe the Guiding Principles? Or maybe we can treat Guiding Principles as responsibilities? But they are more like values. Could also treat Key Cultural Competencies as Skills? Actually they are competencies. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: Key Cultural Competencies? Or maybe combine. - Benefits: none specific. - Pay: Compensation section mentions pay per credit hour per PSUFA CBA. That's specific enough? It says "Adjunct faculty are hired on either a per term or an academic year basis, and paid per credit hour per the PSUFA Collective Bargaining Agreement." That's specific about pay structure. So we can include Pay section. - Schedule: Not mentioned besides per term or academic year basis. That's schedule info? Could be considered Schedule: "Adjunct faculty are hired on either a per term or an academic year basis." That's schedule. Could include Schedule section. But we need to avoid filler like "not specified". The schedule is specified: per term or academic year basis. So we can include Schedule. Benefits: not mentioned. So omit. Now we need to format with

headings and appropriate content. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't put that. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details exactly as given, but we can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Means we should not omit details, but we can reformat. Likely we should keep the text verbatim (or close) but we can put into

or

  • . We should not change meaning. Let's extract each piece. About the role: Could combine Position Summary paragraphs about PSU and College of Education. Let's copy them: "Portland State University (PSU) is an urban university and Oregon’s largest, located in the heart of the vibrant city of Portland. PSU educates over 27,000 students and offers programs for Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degrees. PSU is an internationally recognized urban university known for excellence in student learning, innovative research, and community engagement. PSU contributes to the economic vitality, environmental sustainability, and quality of life in the Portland region and beyond. Employees describe Portland State University as a vibrant, diverse, progressive place to work and an environment that welcomes process improvement and innovation. Portland State’s 50-acre downtown campus is located in the heart of one of America’s most vibrant centers of culture, business, and technology. “Equity-driven research, teaching, and practice” is the motto of the College of Education (COE), Oregon’s largest and most comprehensive college of education. In the next five years, the COE will be nationally recognized for working collaboratively with the surrounding communities, Tribal Nations, and our students to advance equity and excellence in education and counseling through our engaged research activities, and our community-centered and culturally responsive professional-preparation programs with innovative models for preparing diverse professionals who are critically engaged global citizens. The COE mission is to prepare students to advance lifelong learning in diverse learning environments, including schools, postsecondary institutions, community organizations, and social service and health agencies. For more information about the college, please visit https://www.pdx.edu/education/" That's a lot. We'll keep as

    . Responsibilities: The Guiding Principles list: "Our Guiding Principles Are We create and sustain educational environments that serve all students and address diverse needs. We encourage and model exemplary programs and practices across the life span. We build our programs on the human and cultural richness of the University’s urban setting. We develop collaborative efforts that foster our mission. We challenge assumptions about our practice and accept the risks inherent in following our convictions. We develop our programs to promote social justice, especially for groups that have been historically disenfranchised. We strive to understand the relationships among culture, curriculum, and practice, and the long-term implications for ecological sustainability. We model thoughtful inquiry as a basis for sound decision-making." These are sentences starting with "We". We'll put each as

      . Requirements: Minimum Qualifications bullet list: - Master’s Degree in a related field to program(s) above. - Previous teaching experience. - Previous O&M teaching experience with blind, visually impaired or deafblind children. - Certified Orientation and Mobility Certificate (COMS) - Preference is given to candidates who reside in Oregon or Washington We'll put as

Also Environmental Stewardship bullet: - Contributes to a culture of environmental stewardship, practices resource conservation, and actively works toward achieving long-term sustainability goals. Maybe we can combine both under Skills? Or separate sections? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Key Cultural Competencies and Environmental Stewardship under Skills or maybe under "Key Cultural Competencies" as a section heading? But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So Skills can encompass both. Thus Skills section will include both sets of bullet points. Pay: Compensation paragraph: "Adjunct faculty are hired on either a per term or an academic year basis, and paid per credit hour per the PSUFA Collective Bargaining Agreement." Schedule: Could be same as Pay? Actually schedule is also "Adjunct faculty are hired on either a per term or an academic year basis." That's same sentence. Could we put schedule as that phrase? But we already used that in Pay. Might duplicate. Better to separate: Pay: "paid per credit hour per the PSUFA Collective Bargaining Agreement." Schedule: "Adjunct faculty are hired on either a per term or an academic year basis." We need to avoid duplication but we can split the sentence: The original sentence: "Adjunct faculty are hired on either a per term or an academic year basis, and paid per credit hour per the PSUFA Collective Bargaining Agreement." We can split into two parts. Thus Schedule: "Adjunct faculty are hired on either a per term or an academic year basis." Pay: "Paid per credit hour per the PSUFA Collective Bargaining Agreement." Now we need to ensure we don't invent details. That's fine. Now produce HTML fragment:

      Schedule

      Check for any other substantive info: The position number, department, representation, proposed start date maybe? Those are metadata; we could fold into a short

      under About the role? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

      or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph with Position Number, Department, Representation, Proposed Start Date, Working Title maybe? But we already have About the role; we could add a short paragraph after the long description containing those details. However we must not repeat job title as heading; but we can include it in paragraph. We need to preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include those details somewhere. Let's add a short

      after the About the role paragraph (or before) containing: Working Title: Orientation and Mobility Adjunct Pool - Academic Year 2026-2027; Department: 260150 - EDU Counselor Education Program; Position Number: D94399; Representation: AP - AFT, Local 3571; Proposed Start Date: 12/16/2026. We must not make it a heading. So just a

      . Now check for any other info: The Position Summary Education paragraph repeats some of the above; we already used that. The "Position Summary Education" line maybe redundant; we already covered. Now ensure we didn't include boilerplate like EEO
