Does the Calendar Bind The University?
Given that the current Calendar does not reproduce the corporate seal of The University, there is a serious question as to whether its contents are binding upon the body of students of the University. In addition to such a technical consideration, there is the general consideration of what a Calendar is and whether or not it is appropriate (whether or not it is a common practice of University corporations) for an almanac of dates and so forth to be used as a carrier for enforceable rules.
Also, the Calendar is no longer made available in a solidified printed form as "the print edition of the Calendar has been discontinued."[22] The Calendar website does not appear to offer date-specific point-in-time archival access. Thus, if one wished to view some Calendar section related to some past event, he would have no way to know whether or not the Calendar's current text was the same at the time of the event.
