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.
No, I'm fine with the foot baths being there, I just wouldn't want MY money -- as a student -- to go to pay for them. I would also be against the school fees paying for crosses or bibles for students, but typically people provide their own.
