“We didn’t get to the parents or the student simply because if all of the questions about eligibility were answered by the school or the feeder system schools, there was no reason to make it a personal situation with a family or that athlete.”

So they conducted an investigation of the student's gender based on the accusations of others and did not the decency to tell the student and her parents? They don't think the investigation is a personal situation for the athlete and her family? But parents have the right to know what is going on with their children right? They did this to protect girls, just not that girl they investigated.
Reminds me of the famous quote from Joseph Welch during the McCarthy hearings. "Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"
