 At MiraCosta College, an MOU, or Memorandum of Understanding, is a formal document that outlines an agreement between the college (or the district) and another entity, such as a faculty union, the college foundation, or other government or educational partners, for specific collaborative or operational purposes. These agreements detail the shared intentions and responsibilities of the parties involved for things like training programs, research, or even how to address workplace conditions, and they can range from legally binding to non-binding documents, depending on their context.
