oh did not know that, I thought they'd been elected by the students and have some powers how their money is spent like at the university I was attending.

But I still think as long as the students don't have any objections it's fine.

It's not a Mosque they are building, but some sanitary devices. they are not going to provide religious teachings but allow some of the students to follow their religions duties.

If they won't allow such foot baths because of the separation of state and religion they should also ban necklaces with crosses on them on the campus or the bible from the library.
