The PR department and the editorial department are two different things, so this doesn't necessarily mean much of anything, except that it's maybe a little embarrassing to have the PR department of the university with which you're affiliated abandon your style guide.
You know who's really excited by this news? Stephanie Meyer. By
Reasoning with Vampires' count, she's never met a comma she didn't like.
