If I can't use his points, I would be on the hook for over 600 dollars r/t. Is there anything wrong with using points to send a third party to Toronto for school.

No offense, but this is a silly question. He can buy a plane ticket for the mayor of Upper Siberia, or a Martian if he wants to. Has absolutely nothing to do with ethics. It's as ridiculous a question as me asking if it's ethical to use my BK Gift Card to buy my father a whopper. But I won't feed the troll.
