I need to find a way to make Vocabulary optional for one content type but required for another?
I have vocab "departments"
and content types "Department Page" and "News"
Each "department page" content type must have one Term selected from "Departments" Vocab
But each "News" content type may or may not have any term selected from "Departments" vocab
looks simple though drupal only has Required Check mark on Vocabs and when this is checked it makes it required for all the content types that the vocab is selected to appear
I wanted to know if theres a module already available for this kind of problem? or did anybody run into similar problem?

You can use Content Taxonomy module.

Can you please elaborate a bit in detail
so this means I add a cck field in the content type that will reference the Vocab?
and make THAT FIELD optional or required instead making the vocab required?

Yes, make field optional from vocab, in your case assign vocab to only "news".. create field for "page" and choose required option

Aight. But I am a bit concerned, because I wanna use that vocab for many of the content types, it feels a bit awkward to do it with cck and taxonomy together or if I do it only with cck then the whole concept of taxonomy goes in vain
