History
The Colleges and Universities Division was formed in July 1981 within the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities, with Benson A. Wilson (formerly Assistant Deputy Minister, University Affairs Division) as Assistant Deputy Minister. The Division combined the responsibilities of the former University Affairs Division and the colleges functions of the College Affairs and Manpower Training Division. The Division consisted of four branches: University Relations Branch, College Affairs Branch, Teacher Education Branch, and Student Awards Branch. In late 1983 or early 1984, the Colleges and Universities Division was renamed University and Student Affairs Division when the College Affairs Branch was moved to the Skills Development Division.
