About EthicsPoint
Teachers College is committed to fostering an inclusive environment governed by ethical conduct and mutual respect. Community members with questions or concerns related to safety, ethical misconduct, policy violations, or other related issues are encouraged to report.
The College maintains an ethics and compliance reporting hotline through EthicsPoint, which provides a simple-to-use, 24/7 platform for confidentially reporting activities that may involve improper conduct or violations of the College’s policies.
EthicsPoint is designed specifically for complaints such as those related to financial, accounting, or donor stewardship issues, conflict of interest issues, environmental health and safety matters, ethics concerns, and grant misconduct or misappropriation of costs. It does not replace or supersede existing reporting procedures, and members are encouraged to consult the College’s Policies and Procedures on Grievance and Harassment reporting to find the most appropriate reporting channel for their concern. The College encourages its employees and students to attempt to resolve problems or disputes through established channels whenever possible.
Teachers College asserts that reports submitted via EthicsPoint will be handled promptly and discreetly, receiving careful consideration to address any improper conduct or violation of College policy. No retaliatory action will be taken against anyone for reporting or inquiring in good faith about potential breaches of TC's polices or for seeking guidance on how to handle suspected breaches. Reports submitted through EthicsPoint will be given careful attention by Teachers College with the objective of correcting the situation being reported, once the facts have been corroborated.
EthicsPoint is not a 911 or emergency service contact. For emergencies, please call 911 or TC Public Safety at 212-678-3333.
