Yes, sorry for the typo. He is 20. But he's not a minor. The cutoff is 18 federally and in all states except one. Bottom line, Cronin doesn't need his parents' consent. In fact, FERPA prohibits Cronin from discussing anything with the parents without written permission from the student.
All that said, Cronin probably has good relations with most, if not all, the families, and wants to be mindful of them in situations like this.
