Re: MOUs/Mutual aid agreements between universities and colleges

[Ben Marsden <bmarsden () SMITH EDU>]

+1,  this question came up here as well a few days ago when I was
presenting a review of, and our takeaways from last fall's NTTX event.

We have a "Five Colleges" consortium, and it's my understanding that
there's a high level understanding (ie. no formal MoU) that, at the
presidential level, every effort will be made to assist a peer institution
in need as resources permit.  Arguably, this type of open-ended agreement
allows for dynamic flexibility depending on the crisis at hand.
