It comes off as slightly arrogant.

It's not obvious why you consider it arrogant so may be you should explain.

I personally think it is a good idea and keeps things simple. Combining them together probably requires more coordination and thought for the product--and at the end complicating it.

It's asserting Stanford's tacit ownership of the concept of "class", in a way. There's nothing there to indicate it's Stanford.

SAAS Class (http://www.saas-class.org/) is from US Berkeley, not Stanford, and is linked alongside all the others in each site's footer.

You can make this argument about any nice domain name. Does Facebook Inc have tacit ownership of the concept "facebook" (collection of photographs of people, in case you've forgotten the real meaning)? How is this greatly different?
