Peter Greenwood was hired as Bursar in 1988, a position that was changed to Vice President, Finance and Administration following a partial administrative reorganization at the college in 1995. He remained in this role until 2001. He was also a Douglas College Foundation board member from 1989-1999.

Established in April 1981 (with its initial meeting held the following month), the Finance, Facilities and Personnel Committee was an amalgamation of three previous standing committees and drew its original terms of reference from each of those earlier groups. The Committee’s principle responsibilities fell within these three areas and included: (1) advising the College Board and administration on significant financial and business matters, reviewing draft budgets, and reviewing financial statements; (2) recommending policies related to building and site development, engaging with local governments and stakeholders, studying site proposals, and acting on behalf of the Board when initiating and planning with other agencies for jointly owned facilities; and (3) providing advice on personnel policies, reviewing specific personnel problems, examining proposals, and engaging in the negotiations with faculty and staff.

In October 1997, this Committee was replaced two committees: the Finance Committee (which addressed issues related to finance and facilities) and the Human Resources Committee (which addressed personnel issues).

The Finance Committee established in October 1997 had a mandate that was distinct from the earlier iteration of the same name, which had existed from the College's earliest years until 1981. The work of this newer Finance Committee focused on both finance and facilities. Its finance-related responsibilities included advising the Board and administration on significant financial affairs at the College, reviewing the operating and capital budgets, and reviewing financial statements. Its facilities-related responsibilities included making policy recommendations regarding building and site development, examining long-term plans for future developments, reviewing and recommending site acquisitions, meeting with government officials and local stakeholders regarding the acquisition of sites and facilities, and acting on behalf of the Board with respect to jointly owned facilities.

In January 2009, the Finance Committee became the Audit and Finance Committee.

Established in January 1992, the College Board’s Community Relations/Board Development Committee retained many of its predecessor’s responsibilities related to community engagement, strategic planning related to advertising, and discussions of community relations issues. It also added two new clauses to its mandate: (1) to plan Board development activities and to recommend them to the College Board, and (2) to draft and recommend Board policies.

In September 2002, the Board voted to disband the Committee because issues related to planning and advocacy were by then being handled by the Executive Committee.

The Department of Liberal Arts (formerly the Humanities Division of the Department of Liberal Studies from 1970-1972) was created in 1972, and existed in this form until 1978. It was responsible for administering courses in Philosophy, History, and non-Applied Sciences and Mathematics. During this time, it was chaired by E. Donovan Jones.

It 1982, it was combined with the Department of Fine and Applied Arts to form the Humanities Department, which was then renamed to the Department of Arts and Humanities in 1983.

It should be noted that there is limited information on the departmental structure of the College from the years 1979-1981.
