Wouldn't the above qualify as multi-subject

What is the meaning of University, and why don't these old "universities" meet the criteria?
1. A higher-education degree-awarding school
2. Offering publically recognized, official secular diplomas: originally they were grammar, rhetoric, logic, and different kinds of law, in addition to theology.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> It depends on how you define a university. I think the institution that invented the term probably gets to define it. And that is the University of Bologna.
So what's their definition?

"Universal guild of (...)" was a pretty common preamble for a few centuries. It stuck for student guilds - because it all started as rich kids hiring tutors as a group. Whatever they were doing in Bologna in the 13th century is as far as the modern research university as what they did in Nalanda.
