Overview
- Daniel Pullin notified board chair Kit Moncrief that he was resigning effective immediately on Oct. 22, 2026, after less than 17 months as chancellor.
- The TCU Board appointed Victor Boschini Jr. to the chancellor post at once without calling him an interim, and the board said he will lead the university’s strategic plan and day-to-day campus life.
- The university’s announcement gave no public reason for Pullin’s departure and offered no details about any separation terms, prompting questions about board communication and transparency.
- Pullin had helped develop a multi-decade expansion plan that targets roughly 17,900 students by 2035, pursuit of Carnegie R1 status, and more than $500 million in outside housing investments.
- Boschini’s return shifts attention to how the university will manage faculty relations after a contested October 2025 restructure of race and gender studies and whether the leadership change will affect enrollment, housing timelines, and research goals.
