Governor Mike Braun Friday signed an executive order to review the policies of Indiana’s state educational institutions regarding antisemitism and their response to any acts of antisemitism following the October 7 terrorist attacks against Israel, reiterating Indiana’s support for its Jewish community and condemning antisemitic acts of discrimination and harassment.
"A wave of antisemitism across the country began over a year ago with the October 7, 2023 terrorist attack against Israel, with universities often at the epicenter of these incidents. With this executive order, we are making it clear that Indiana will not tolerate antisemitic discrimination at our state institutions or anywhere else — Jewish Hoosiers should know the state of Indiana condemns antisemitism and stands with them.” — Governor Mike Braun
The executive order directs the Indiana Commission for Higher Education to review the policies of Indiana’s state educational institutions related to antisemitism, and each institution’s response to any acts of antisemitism that have occurred on campus since the October 7 terrorist attack in 2023.
The executive order reiterates Indiana’s longstanding support for Israel and Indiana’s Jewish community and condemns discrimination against Jewish Hoosiers.
Governor Braun’s executive order comes as the Trump administration is also standing up for Jewish students, with President Trump’s Department of Education this week warning universities of their obligations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to protect Jewish students on their campuses.
