I believe that this means that the University is getting a lot of heat from Alumni and others. When the president says "there has been a significant amount of
communication", I suspect he means that their phones are ringing off the hook and their email boxes are full of messages from outraged parents, students, and alumni.

University will re-examine its weapons policy following an incident
with two students and a home intruder two weeks ago. In the meantime the
current policy remains in effect. The current policy states that there
are to be no weapons on campus or any university owned property. Both
students will learn whether or not they will be expelled early next
week. Student Erik Fagan had this to say about the the university
re-examining their weapons policy: "I am very happy to see that they
are looking to have a conversation about policies. Because as of now
they are making us decide to either protect ourselves and face
punishment from the school or follow the policy and not be able to
defend ourselves."

Here is the letter from the university president about the issue of safety on university owned property:
During
the past forty-eight hours, there has been a significant amount of
communication regarding a recent neighborhood incident involving two of
our students, the institution’s policies as regards possession of
firearms in campus housing, and concerns about the University’s response
to this incident under its Code of Conduct. I believe it is in the
best interests of our Community to utilize this set of circumstances to
address several of the key issues that have arisen.
