For more information, visit: Summary of 2026 Benefits for Faculty Members.pdf - Google Drive Puget Sound has a well-established Shared Faculty Appointments Policy, https://www.pugetsound.edu/policies/faculty-policies/shared-faculty-appointments About Puget Sound: description of location etc. About The MEd Program: description. About The School Of Education: description. University Diversity Statement: etc. Required Documents: list of documents. Applicant's Diversity Statement: prompt. Additional notes: background inquiry, EEO, H-1b sponsorship note, etc. How To Apply: etc. Additional "About Puget Sound" repeated. We need to extract substantive info and put into sections. We should not include boilerplate like EEO, diversity statement (maybe we can include as part of About the role? But it's boilerplate; we should remove EEO/equal-opportunity/ scam-warning boilerplate. The diversity statement is part of required documents but it's a prompt; we could include under Requirements? Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove EEO statements, diversity statement prompts? The diversity statement is part of required documents but it's not EEO; it's a prompt for applicants. Might be considered part of application instructions? It's about what to include in diversity statement. Might be considered application instruction. Safer to remove it. We also need to remove duplicated lines. We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. Potential sections: - About the role: could contain description of position, appointment details, program overview, modalities, etc. - Responsibilities: teaching, supervision, advising, other duties, essential functions. - Requirements / Qualifications: we have both Required and Preferred qualifications. Could combine into Qualifications section. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include. Likely we need Qualifications for required/preferred. Could also include Skills if there are specific skills (like collaboration, communication, culturally responsive teaching). But we can put those under Qualifications. - Benefits: we have info about benefits package and link. - Pay: salary range info. - Schedule: maybe not given; we have appointment term (Spring 2027 Jan-May) and teaching load (3 units). Could be considered schedule? Might be okay to include Schedule section with term and modality info. But we already have About the role covering term. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine term into About the role and not create Schedule unless we have explicit schedule info like "Monday/Wednesday 9-11". Not present. So we skip Schedule. - Skills: maybe not needed. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" for Pay? Actually Pay section we have specific salary range: $75,820 to $86,652 annualized. That's substantive. So include Pay. Benefits: we have "generous benefits package" and link to PDF. That's substantive enough. Now we need to format with

headings, then content in

or

• . For lists, use
  • . For prose,

    . We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like course codes, dates, etc. Let's draft.
