c) Unions Mr T George led the presentation which highlighted the following key issues: . The union was extremely concerned with the dilapidated infrastructure of the university. The university's inability to attract and retain best students and academic staff remained a serious concern. . The geographic location of the Alice campus was a concern since Alice was a small town with inadequate social activities. The town was under- developed and 70% of the houses in the town were owned by the Department of Public Works. The union would like these houses to be allocated to the academic staff of the university owing to the lack of adequate accommodation in the area. . There was serious biasness towards the East London campus in terms of infrastructure development resulting in the Alice campus being ignored. . The current funding formula did not take into account the historical background of UFH. There was a need for a redress funding to develop the infrastructure of the university. . The university should be declared a heritage site since it had historical buildings that were part of the history of the country. . The relationship between the management of the university and the union was cordial. Management had an open door policy and the union participated in council meetings.
