The upcoming presidential evaluation process at University of Southern Indiana will remain secret, and so may the results.

The in-depth process, which includes interviewing and surveying the entire university community, will be handled by an outside firm for the first time. It generally is conducted every three to five years.

Federal student privacy laws have long let schools decide if student directory information is considered public record, and therefore subject to records requests.

Butler University's Police Department refused to release the full incident report of a pellet gun shooting that occurred Sept. 11 at Apartment Village.
Officials initially cited the Family Education and Privacy Rights Act as the reason the report could not be released.
