UCLA Authorized?

If you are on Facebook and affiliated with UCLA in some way, you may have received the ad shown on the right. It is unclear whether this commercial venture is authorized to use the UCLA name. (At least one "reply" to the ad raised that question.)

Yours truly clicked on the ad and was taken to what appears to be a New Hampshire company - Alumni Ventures - which suggests the parent firm markets to other universities using the alumni appeal through local affiliates. There is also an SEC complaint listed:

I have flagged the ad for the powers-that-be at UCLA. In the meantime, caveat emptor.
