"Just three days after a student plotted a shooting spree on the University of Central Florida campus and took his own life, school leaders discussed safety on campus.James Seevakumaran's actions on Monday have ignited a debate about how police responded, when they notified students and why someone who was not registered for classes was living on campus.Raw video: Police enter dorm room of alleged attackerThe presentation to the Board of Trustees began at 1 p.m. in the Oak ballroom and was open to the public.Trustee Harris Rosen, whose son attends UCF and lives in the dorm, said military-style inspections at any time are needed for safety inside the dorms. He believes the security measures in place do not work.\"The inspections should be akin to what they do in the military, and I was inspected many times during my service for years and is a white glove inspection and I think that is necessary,\" said Rosen.The statement immediately drew fire from several board members.\"I regret greatly that the man had the problems that he did and that he killed himself. I am grateful he did not kill others, but they have rights as well,\" said trustee Ida Cook.\"There's a big difference between living in a single-family dwelling and living in a dorm,\" said Rosen.Students were split on the idea of inspections versus privacy rights.\"I feel like there should be a line and because students still want their own privacy you know,\" said Stephanie Gardner.\"If they started doing surprise ones  it could be helpful to that situation, yes,\" said Rena Perez.The board took no action on the suggestion to inspect rooms.Rosen also suggested that anyone who wants to leave Tower 1 and break their contract should be able to do so. The administration of President Hitt has already decided to work with students to help them move without financial penalties.The board also discussed that more research should be done before assigning roommates on campus. They feel more research could make roommates more compatible.According to officials, Seevakumaran was armed with a pistol, a rifle, a thousand rounds of ammunition and four crudely constructed bombs for the sole purpose of launching a massacre on campus.When police arrived, they found that he had taken his own life minutes after he came face to face with one of his roommates.That roommate called 911, setting in motion the police response.President John Hitt said he expected the trustees to ask questions about why some UCF students did not receive alerts to their phones until nearly two hours after that call to dispatch.\"People shared what they knew at the time there was a gap of some hours before it was realized that there were IEDs in the room for instance. It looked more like a suicide and nothing more for an hour or so,\" said Hitt.Hitt also said he's already talking with administrators who handle dorm registrations and class enrollment to ensure they know when students are to be promptly evicted from dorms if they are not students. He did say that after a check of the 7,000 people who live on campus, only one other was found to be no longer enrolled.Watch: Another roommate speaks outThe board commended the police officers for taking risks to save the students on Monday morning.Also on Thursday, UCF Police Chief Richard Beary could reveal if investigators have found information on Seevakumaran's computer, obtained from the Towers 1 dorm where he lived.According to a checklist found in Seevakumaran's room, YouTube is mentioned among the other illegible items.\"I think the prevailing belief is that there was an attempt to upload something to YouTube. I can tell you we're going to exhaust every option to understand why this happened,\" UCF spokesman Grant Heston said.Images: Police investigate death at UCF"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
