What's the difference between a division, a department and a discipline;
or a deputy, dean and a director? The INside continues its series on Col-
lege terms by examining administrative structure and positions.

MSTAL/MOSTL: the provincial Minis-
try of Skills, Training and Labour which
has responsibility for B.C. public colleges;
the Minister is Dan Miller.

Deputy/Deputy Minister: the senior non-
elected official of a ministry, appointed by
the government; the Deputy Minister of
Skills and Training is Gary Wouters.

Assistant Deputy Minister/ADM: senior
career public servant in a ministry.

Division: the largest administrative group-
ing within the College. At Douglas
College there are six divisions: Academic,
Applied, Educational and Student Serv-
ices, Community Programs and Services,
Human Resources and College Develop-
ment, and Administrative Services. Each
division is headed by a dean, except Ad-
ministrative Services, which is headed by
the Bursar.

Department: each division is sub-divided
into departments specializing in specific

services or subject areas. For example, the
Academic Division includes a Mathemat-

ics and Science Department.

Chair/Director: each instructional depart-
ment is headed by a chair or a director.
Chairs are elected to three-year terms and
head academic departments. Directors are
hired to lead applied program departments
and some service departments on a perma-
nent basis.

Applied/Academic Programs: applied
programs provide training and education
which qualify students for employment in
a specific field (e.g. Nursing, Child and
Youth Care Counsellor). Academic pro-
grams provide education for transfer to
university in areas such as arts and sci-
ences.

Disciplines: each faculty department is
sub-divided into disciplines focusing on
specific subject matters. For example, biol-
ogy, geology and chemistry are all
disciplines within the Mathematics and
Science Department.
