 The package absolutely does not contain university-specific installation files. The reason the two linked files contain different hashes is that they are different versions. Steps to verify this:1. Download both RPMs2. Extractthe RPM
3. Open ${srcdir}/opt/f5/vpn/f5vpn in the editor of your choice4. Search for the text Version:5. Notice that it.emory.edu's RPM is version 7171.2018.0808.1, while vpn.uts.edu.au's RPM is version 7181.2019.0620.1
These RPMs would have been downloaded originally from F5's website by downloading the APM Clients ISO (latest version is 7182.2019.923.1603-4727.0) and copying linux_f5vpn.x86_64.rpm. This ISO does not vary based on who downloads it.

HailHydra [1] filed a deletion request for f5vpn [2]:

Package contains university specific installation files with no
indication of such in package naming or description.
The 'linux_f5vpn.x86_64.rpm' file is specific to the university it is
downloaded from, this can be seen by the differing hash sums of the
file linked in the PKGBUILD
("https://it.emory.edu/vpntools/linux_f5vpn.x86_64.rpm") and one
provided by a different university (ie.
"https://vpn.uts.edu.au/public/download/linux_f5vpn.x86_64.rpm")
