These are neither board member’s bro-in-laws NOR A SHIDDUCH, so that mashal makes no sense and certainly has nothing to do with the issue at hand. I would never ask a 14 year old to tell me about the middos of a 22 year old (for shidduch purposes). The view of a teen is often highly biased, easily influenced by superfluous and shallow things (like their peer group), and notoriously quickly subject to change.
There is simply NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER for an adult professional in a position of extreme authority, to seek counsel with a teen, in this instance. If he were to ask his talmidim what musician or singer is now considered popular among his teen peers, THAT would be shayach, but not something as crucial as whether or not a bachur should be accepted to school.
