TCU’s senior advisor to the chancellor has left the university.

As of Sep. 14, Dr. Jonathan Benjamin-Alvarado and his position were not featured on TCU’s website.

“He is no longer with TCU and two important university functions have been realigned to departments where they have incredible support,” a university spokesperson wrote in a statement on Thursday.

Benjamin-Alvarado was hired in March 2022 as TCU’s senior advisor to the chancellor and chief inclusion officer and began his duties two months later on June 1, according to a TCU News article. 

As the senior advisor to the chancellor, he played “a critical role working directly for the chancellor and closely with the provost, cabinet and other faculty and staff employees to develop a comprehensive vision for ensuring inclusive excellence throughout the university,” according to the article.

Then-Chancellor Victor Boschini emphasized the kind of impact Benjamin-Alvarado could make on campus.

“He has a proven track record of success with an emphasis on inclusion,” Boschini said to TCU News. “Jonathan’s leadership experiences on campus and in the community will serve TCU well.”

As the chief inclusion officer, Benjamin-Alvarado led both the Office of Institutional Equity and the Center for Connection Culture, both of which are under new leadership.

“OIE, which leads our efforts to comply with federal discrimination laws, now reports to our chief compliance officer and the Center for Connection Culture will continue to foster community as a value, along with colleagues in Human Resources,” the TCU spokesperson wrote.

In February 2025, Benjamin-Alvarado was named the new director for the Center for Connection Culture. 

“As we launch our new strategic plan, JBA’s contributions and leadership are a critical part of achieving our goals, ensuring the success of every Horned Frog and building on TCU’s community excellence, culture and engagement,” then-President Daniel Pullin said in a TCU News article.

Benjamin-Alvarado spearheaded a series of voting events in 2024 titled “Elections, Democracy and Social Values,” in an effort to “to explore various viewpoints and aspects of an election and engage TCU’s diverse community in voting as informed, responsible citizens,” according to a TCU News article.
