Office of the Compliance at Teachers College

The stretch of West 120th Street near Columbia’s campus carries a quiet rhythm of its own, where academic life and city energy overlap. Among the institutions that anchor this corner of Morningside Heights is the Office of the Compliance at Teachers College, a place where policy and education intersect without fanfare.

You’ll find it at 107 Zankel Hall, 525 W 120th St, New York, NY 10027, tucked into the fabric of the neighborhood rather than set apart from it. As an association focused on regulatory matters within academic settings, the office handles everything from research integrity to institutional accountability—tasks that rarely make headlines but shape the daily work of educators and administrators alike.

For questions or guidance, the number to call is (212) 678-6637. While compliance might not sound like the most exciting topic, it’s a cornerstone of how schools operate, ensuring that policies are applied fairly and transparently. The office serves as a resource for faculty, staff, and students navigating the often-complicated landscape of academic regulations.
