Residential Education Director
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections with real content.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Title: Residential Education Director (but we must not repeat as heading).
- Employee Type: Admin. Professional (+) (Fixed Term)
- Position Details: The Opportunity paragraph describing role.
- Additional Information: full time (100% FTE), Temporary position, overtime exempt, Temporary End Date: May 20, 2027. Renewal dependent.
- Monthly Compensation: Salary: $4,613.82, On-Call Stipend $250.00, Perquisite Allowance: $1,798.00. Also note "In accordance with RCW 49.58.110, the above salary reflects the full salary range for this position. Individual placement within the range is based on the candidate’s current experience, education, skills, and abilities related to the position."
- Benefits: WSU offers a comprehensive benefits package which includes paid sick and vacation leave; paid holidays; medical, dental, life and disability insurance package for employees and dependents; retirement; deferred compensation, optional supplemental retirement accounts; training and development; and employee tuition waiver. Also reference to detailed Summary of Benefits.
- Required Qualifications: list bullet points.
- Preferred Qualifications: list bullet points.
- Position Sponsorship Eligibility: Not eligible for work visa sponsorship.
- About Department/College/Area/Campus: link.
- Location: Pullman, WA.
- Application Instructions: we must remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should drop Application Instructions section.
- Also remove background check? It's not explicitly listed as boilerplate but might be considered legal? It's about background check requirement. Might be considered legal/EEO? Not sure. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Background check is a legal requirement; might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to remove it? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So yes, remove legal boilerplate like background check. Also remove "Time Type Full time Position Term Washington State University encourages all qualified candidates to apply, including members of the military and veterans, and persons with disabilities. WSU employs only U.S. citizens and lawfully authorized non-U.S. citizens. All new employees must show employment eligibility verification as required by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. WSU is committed to providing access and reasonable accommodation in its services, programs, activities, education and employment for individuals with disabilities. To request disability accommodation in the application process, contact Human Resource Services: ..." That's EEO/legal boilerplate; remove.
- Also "Notice of Non-Discrimination" etc remove.
Thus we keep: About the role (The Opportunity paragraph), Responsibilities (maybe part of The Opportunity?), Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits, Pay (Salary, stipend, allowance), Schedule (maybe mention full-time, 10.5-month, live-in, temporary end date). Also maybe include "Employee Type" etc.
We need to decide sections.
We have content for:
- About the role: The Opportunity paragraph (describes role). Could be under About the role
with
. - Responsibilities: The Opportunity paragraph also lists duties: provide leadership and supervision to paraprofessional staff while fostering a safe, inclusive, and engaging residential experience. Depending on hall assignment, may administer special programs such as academic initiatives, themed communities, living-learning communities, and Honors programs; adjudicate housing policy and contract violations; provide personal support and guidance to residents; coordinate educational and social programming; and manage budgets. Also play a key role in community development, advise hall government organizations, respond to crises, facilitate conflict resolution, participate in committees and collateral assignments within Student Affairs, and fulfill emergency on-call responsibilities. That's responsibilities. We could split About the role and Responsibilities but they overlap. Perhaps better to have one section "About the role" covering the description, and another "Responsibilities" listing duties as bullet list. But we must not create thin sections; we need substantive content. We have enough for Responsibilities bullet list. - Requirements: Required Qualifications bullet list. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list. - Skills: Could be derived from Preferred Qualifications (supervision, communication, mediation, administrative, organizational, etc). But we might not need separate Skills if we already have Qualifications. The instruction says use headings only when posting has real, specific content for it. We have Preferred Qualifications; we could treat that as Qualifications. Skills maybe not needed. - Benefits: paragraph. - Pay: Salary, stipend, allowance. - Schedule: mention full-time (100% FTE), 10.5-month, live-in, temporary position expected to end May 20, 2027. Also maybe mention overtime exempt. We should not include placeholders like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:

We should ensure no duplicate content. Also we omitted location? Could be included in About the role or maybe a separate section? Not required but could be included as part of About the role paragraph? The posting includes Location: Pullman, WA. Could add to About the role paragraph or a separate short paragraph. Since we must preserve ALL substantive information, we should include location. Where to put? Could add a sentence in About the role: "Located in Pullman, WA." Or add a separateunder About the role. Let's incorporate. Add to About the role paragraph after the first sentence: "Located in Pullman, WA." Thus About the role paragraph becomes:
The Opportunity: As the Residential Education Director, you will serve in a full-time, 10.5-month, live-in professional role overseeing the management of a residence hall community ranging from 145 to 600 residents. In this position, you will provide leadership and supervision to paraprofessional staff while fostering a safe, inclusive, and engaging residential experience. Located in Pullman, WA.
Check for any other substantive info: Employee Type: Admin. Professional (+) (Fixed Term). Could be included in About the role or maybe a separate "Position Details" but we can incorporate. Add: "Employee Type: Admin. Professional (+) (Fixed Term)." Could be part of About the role. Let's incorporate: after the first sentence maybe. Thus About the role paragraph: "The Opportunity: As the Residential Education Director, you will serve in a full-time, 10.5-month, live-in professional role overseeing the management of a residence hall community ranging from 145 to 600 residents. Employee Type: Admin. Professional (+) (Fixed Term). In this position, you will provide leadership and supervision to paraprofessional staff while fostering a safe, inclusive, and engaging residential experience. Located in Pullman, WA." Check for duplication: we also have Schedule section covering full-time etc. Might be redundant but okay. We must not include boilerplate like "In accordance with RCW 49.58.110, the above salary reflects the full salary range for this position. Individual placement within the range is based on the candidate’s current experience, education, skills, and abilities related to the position." That's substantive? It's about salary range. Could be included in Pay section as a note. It's not boilerplate; it's specific to salary. Should we include? It's substantive. Let's add aunder Pay: "
