It's not a question of whether or not age discrimination is going on (as the title seems to suggest), the question is whether or not the discrimination is legally justified. The courts will decide that at no small expense to the family and the university. There is plenty of legal discrimination regarding minors designed to protect them. You don't really have same rights as other adults in the US until you turn 18 or (even 21).
In my opinion, the university should allow him to go with the provision that he is chaperoned by a legal guardian.

- kellishaver 17y agoI agree. With his mother willing to sign a waiver releasing the school of any liability and being willing to go with him, at her own expense, I think they should allow him to go. Without those two things, I think they're perfectly justified in saying "no" but with both of those in place, he should be allowed to go and study.
