That Mayack refused to sign on to the retraction notice follows form; she did not agree to the Nature retraction. According to Mayack, the issues involving her work in the lab involved what boil down to organizational problems or, perhaps more accurately, disorganizational problems. She called them “mistakes made in data retrieval that were a cause of a poor, but not a unique, data management and archiving system” — but not fraud.
As the latest retraction notes, Harvard has been conducting an internal investigation of the matter — for years, it seems. We attempted to pry a few facts from the university back in October, on the anniversary of the Nature retraction, but our entreaty went unanswered.

Of course you got zero hits. Organizational problems is a common phrase. Disorganizational problems is an ironic coinage, a play on words, something that the writer just invented, and to good effect.

Anti-Organizational problems?
 
Anti-Organizational problems?
No. 'disorganised' is frequently used, and 'disorganisation' is not uncommon, so 'disorganisational' works.

Would you mind to give the definition of the word "disorganisational"? To be straight, I could not get a clear picture about it when "anti-thingy" is denied.
 
You understand what "organised" means, I assume.

Disorganised/disorganisation = not organised.
Anti-organised = morally against organisation
