Missing "Visibility" option on Lollipop Calendar

Did Google take away the Visibility option for a new calendar event in their Calendar app for Lollipop/5.0? It was present in KitKat/4.4, but I don't seem to be able to find it anywhere. The full set of options looks like this for a new calendar entry:

enter image description herenew event

Incidentally, the calendar app is now correctly using my reminder options as set in the Calendar web app, something that never worked right for me in KitKat (I always had to manually add an email reminder to a new entry added in my phone). So, that's fantastic, but this feels like one step forward, one step backward since I now have lost the ability to control the event entry's visibility from my phone (the "Default" visibility selection is what is chosen behind the scenes, which I verified in the web app after adding a new entry via Lollipop).
