. The Medunsa Campus had always been very poorly represented in the Council of the University of Limpopo. For a number of years, Medunsa only had two Council representatives based on the Medunsa Campus. After the recent announcement of the imminent demerger of Medunsa, the composition of the new Council from June 2011 included only one member, with even the acting DVC being excluded. . Similarly the composition of executive management is mainly composed of persons based on the Turfloop Campus. This is confirmed in the composition of the Executive Management Committee in which the Medunsa Campus apparently had only two representatives. . After six of submissions to harmonize the salary packages on the two Campuses, this still has not happened even after the implementation of the new remuneration policy in May 2010. There were still significant differences in the packages paid to staff on two Campuses in the same posts, with the same qualifications and applicable experience. . While the movement of the approximately 20% of the staff up to minimum of the tertiary scales in September 2010 was welcomed, many did not benefit from this as their posts were unilaterally downgraded without job evaluation having taken place. Others including HOD's and senior academics had only now been lifted to the minimum, which meant that virtually all other tertiary institutions paid better than UL. . The present implementation of "match and place" to non-academic posts, with the unilateral selective downgrading of posts had caused major dissatisfaction among affected staff. The future structure of technical posts in academic departments remained a source of uncertainty for staff. . The difference of retirement age between the two Campuses was retained for five and a half years post-merger (staff appointed at Medunsa Campus were to retire at 60, while those at Turfloop were appointed to retire at 65). The agreement on the age of retirement for staff had been not reached with management. . Application of budgets for the Medunsa Campus was an area of major concern. The departmental budgets were also only finally allocated late each year, which made running academic departments very difficult.
