Hogsback High: "We've put it on the internet, but don't tell anyone"

One of Ottawa's top three universities, Carleton University, has put up a website to announce a significant visit to their campus.  In the opening paragraph of that site, they ask that specific details not be reported - details that are published on their site for all to see.

Newsflash:  If you don't want something available to the world, don't publish it on the open internet.

And they wonder why they get nicknames like "Cartoon U" or "Hogsback High".

This media advisory is being distributed for media planning purposes only. The {REDACTED} respectfully requests that media outlets do not report on specific details, including exact times, prior to the events. Thank you for your cooperation.

I'll respect their request and not post a link, but I suspect anyone with a schmick can find it...  which probably excludes their staff...

EDIT to add: For those not in Ottawa, there are only 3 universities in Ottawa - Carleton, U of Ottawa (aka U of Zero) and St Paul's
 
Using two search terms and 4 seconds and I found the link you are referring to.
I think this qualifies for dumbest thing I heard today.
 
They ask not to post specific timings, then turn around and post the complete minute by minute itinerary ::)
