Goodfellow has been criticised for her travel expenses and pay for the 2014-15 year. Her travel expenses were reported to be £26,635, with 92% of flights being first or business class. She also received a pay rise of 3% in the same year, increasing her salary to £272,000.Florence Maher, [http://thetab.com/uk/kent/2016/02/12/ukc-vc-spent-incredible-26635-flying-first-class-last-year-8456 UKC VC spent a staggering £26,635 on flying first class last year], thetab.com; accessed 9 April 2016.
