The job location is described as 'chauncey cooper hall' which appears to be a building location, not a city. No explicit remote option is provided in the description. Since the title does not indicate remote and the location is a physical hall, assume in-person at the institution's location. If Howard University is the employer, perhaps in Washington, DC, but not stated. Provided location should be treated as on-site venue; remote false. If additional ambiguity, mention in additional_location_info.
