Green is the son of Mino Green (1927–2022), a Jewish New York-born electronics scientist, and his wife Diana (née Allen) (- 2012). Mino's father was a jewellery and antiques dealer who served in the anti-communist White Russian army before fleeing the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. [2]

He studied economics at St John's College, Cambridge. [3]

He has been Vice-Chancellor of the University of Worcester since 2003. [4]

In 2017, he accused Tory MP Chris Heaton-Harris of McCarthyism, after Heaton-Harris wrote to him in an attempt to compile a "hit list" of university professors who teach Brexit courses. Green called it "the first step to the thought police". [5]

In 2018, he was appointed a CBE for services to higher education, [6] but faced criticism over his high pay, which was £319,000 at the time. [7] He has been Deputy Lieutenant of Worcestershire since 2021. [8]

In September 2024, he opposed a rise in university tuition fees, arguing that funding for universities needed to be overhauled as the current system was broken. [9]
