Paul Greenfield is the Vice Chancellor of The University of Queensland since appointment to that role on 1 January 2008.[1]

As Vice Chancellor, he is the university's chief executive officer and responsible to the University Senate for the overall direction of strategic planning, finance and external affairs.[2] Greenfield is responsible for the university's 44,000 students and 6,500 staff.[3] As a chemical engineer, he was made an Officer in the General Division of the Order of Australia in 2006 for service to science and engineering, thereby providing recognition of his "distinguished service of a high degree to Australia".[4]

His annual salary in 2010 was reported to be AU$1,069,999.[5]

In November 2011, Greenfield resigned from his position as Vice Chancellor after an "irregularity" was found in the enrolment of a student in the medicine course[6] who was a "close relative" of his.[7] He will step down as Vice Chancellor on 13 May 2012.[6]
