Job titles in faculty listings

If you look at Paul Ferris, Denise Muir-Kjesbo, and Dan Gurtner, they all have "Professor Professor"

This is because they have the title "Professor" for multiple programs.

Can we brainstorm a way to address this in our next Cascade meeting?

from our virtual cascade meeting in slack:

AnnMarie Vennerstrom [9:50 AM] let’s put a comma between multiple titles and only display unique ones. great idea @c-schwarze

@annmarieven could you glance through this staging page?

[annmarieven]

the staging page looks good. one more question in regards to this that just came up today...

If they have the same title within the same school, can we merge departments/programs within the listing on their bio page.

Example:

Professor DMin, Bethel Seminary MDiv, Bethel Seminary MATL, Bethel Seminary

as opposed to

Professor DMin, Bethel Seminary

Professor MDiv, Bethel Seminary

Professor MATL, Bethel Seminary

@c-schwarze did you see this?

[c-schwarze]

I did not. I will look at it now. Sorry!

[c-schwarze]

@annmarieven do you have any updates on this?

[annmarieven]

jmo said he thinks we can do both. there would be priority for grouping job titles within a specific program and then secondary would be grouping programs for identical job titles.

let me know if that doesn't make sense :-P

[c-schwarze]

@annmarieven I updated the job titles. It works for both now with the priority you mentioned. Could you take a look at a few bios?

[c-schwarze]

Yep! Closing...
