History
The Office of the Deputy Minister of Colleges and Universities was established in 1972, with the creation of the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities. Beginning in 1972, the Deputy Minister had two Assistant Deputy Ministers (ADMs) within his office. Subsequently, in 1973, with the creation of Divisions in the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, the ADMs were no longer on the staff of the Office of the Deputy Minister but rather were assigned responsibility for a Division. At this time a third ADM was also appointed. There were four Divisions created in 1973. The three headed by an ADM were the University Affairs Division, the College Affairs and Manpower Training Division, and the Cultural Affairs Division. The fourth was the Common Services Division which was administered by an Executive Director.
Between early 1979 and mid 1985, the Office of the Deputy Minister, Ministry of Colleges and Universities, and the Office of the Deputy Minister, Ministry of Education, were combined into one as the two ministries were administered by the same Deputy Minister. In mid 1985, separate Deputy Ministers, each with their own office, were again appointed for each ministry. However, in 1993 the Ontario Ministries of Education, Colleges and Universities, and Skills Development were combined to form the Ministry of Education and Training, administered by a single Deputy Minister.
