"It helps them protect their trademarks," Calixto says. "They have to acknowledge that we own the name, and then we license it back."
He admits, however, that the arrangements would benefit the University more than the individual organizations.
Under the new arrangements the groups would have nominal responsibility to Harvard--according to Calixto, the University asks that they maintain a "high quality" so as not to devalue the name.
"You do give up a little bit of the autonomy," Calixto says.
But Calixto adds the University will not interfere with editorial content of publications registered under the president and fellows or decisions made by student organizations.
"We're trying to make it as benign as possible," he says.
