History
In April 1972, the Department of Colleges and Universities was renamed the Ministry of Colleges and Universities.
By 1973, the Ministry was established into four primary divisions: the College Affairs and Manpower Training Division, the Common Services Division, the Cultural Affairs Division, and the University Affairs Division.
Agencies which were attached to the Ministry at this time included the Committee on University Affairs (replaced with the Ontario Council on University Affairs in 1974), the Council of Regents for Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology, the Ontario Arts Council, the Ontario Educational Communications Authority, the Ontario Heritage Foundation, and the Ontario Science Centre.
In 1975, however, the Cultural Affairs Division was dissolved as the various cultural programs and institutions of the Ministry were transferred to the newly created Ministry of Culture and Recreation.
In 1979, the Ministry of Colleges and Universities and the Ministry of Education became the responsibility of one Minister and Deputy Minister, along with one Administration Division. As a result, the Common Services Division was abolished.
In 1981, the two remaining divisions of the Ministry - the College Affairs and Manpower Training Division and the University Affairs Division - were reorganized to form the Colleges and Universities Division and the Skills Development Division. In 1985, many of the functions and staff of the Skills Development Division were transferred to the newly established Ministry of Skills Development. With this change, the two divisions of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities were dissolved, and the various branches were placed under the responsibility of an Assistant Deputy Minister.
Between 1985 and 1993, the Ministry was restructured several times. Divisions which existed included the Universities and Research Support Division, established in 1986 and renamed the Postsecondary Partnerships and Research Division in 1991; the Colleges and Student Support Division, which was renamed the Postsecondary Institutions Division in 1990; and the Student Support and Corporate Services Division, which was established in 1992.
In 1993, the Ministry of Colleges and Universities was combined with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Skills Development to form the Ministry of Education and Training.
