Thank you for submitting this template!

This is not true, your manifest and license file say MIT.

Developer specific instructions such as this sections are generally discouraged from Typst Universe README, as they are at best noise for package users, and at worse a source of confusion. I would recommend removing it (but it's not mandatory, and if you prefer to not maintain two distinct versions of the README you can also keep it).

If this isn't an official package of the university, could you pick another name please? It should be distinctive enough so that another package with the same purpose can be published without one of the two having an unfair advantage, and it should be clear from the name that it is community-built and not officially endorsed by the university. See our naming rules.

If you want to make this an official template, to keep the current name, that's also an option. In that case a member of the University staff should send an email to hello@typst.app stating that they officially endorse your package. In practice it means that they will accept submission of works built using it, and ideally promote it and guarantee that it will be maintained in the long term.

In the end the API design is up to you, but if I may give my opinion, I'm not sure this is brings any benefit compared to just having the include statements directly in the body. It would be more idiomatic and similar to other templates to remove the chapters argument.

Did you verify that you were allowed to distribute these logos?
