FORT WORTH, Texas – Texas Christian University (TCU) confirmed that former chancellor Victor Boschini will once again lead the Horned Frog campus after the abrupt resignation of Daniel Pullin.
Background on the leadership change
Pullin served as TCU chancellor for a little more than a year before stepping down. The university did not disclose a specific reason for his departure. In response, the Board of Trustees acted swiftly, appointing Boschini to assume the chancellorship immediately.
Boschini’s prior experience
Victor Boschini is no stranger to TCU’s senior leadership. He spent 22 years as chancellor before stepping aside in 2025. During his tenure, he oversaw the implementation of the “Lead On: Values in Action” strategic plan, a framework that emphasizes student success, faculty development, and community engagement.
Board statements
Kit Moncrief, chair of the TCU Board of Trustees, thanked Pullin for his service and expressed confidence in Boschini’s ability to continue the university’s mission. “We thank Daniel for his years of service at TCU. We wish him and his family only the best,” Moncrief said. He added, “Victor’s proven leadership will ensure our strategic plan continues to be successfully implemented on behalf of our students, faculty, and our supportive community.”
Pullin also released a statement, expressing gratitude to the “Horned Frog family” and pride in the students’ achievements. “I love our students and couldn’t be more proud of what their futures entail as they graduate and become outstanding TCU alumni,” he wrote.
What this means for TCU
Board members indicated that Boschini’s return is intended to provide continuity and stability as the university moves forward. The leadership transition is expected to keep the campus focused on its core values while addressing any operational challenges that may have arisen during the brief Pullin tenure.
Stakeholders, including faculty, staff, alumni, and current students, have been encouraged to support the new‑old chancellor as he resumes his duties. The university plans to hold a town‑hall meeting later this month to discuss upcoming initiatives and answer community questions.
Looking ahead
With Boschini back at the helm, TCU aims to maintain momentum on key projects such as campus expansion, scholarship growth, and partnerships with local businesses. The administration’s focus remains on delivering a high‑quality, values‑driven education that prepares graduates for service in their professions and communities.
