INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Disagreements among Indiana lawmakers could stop passage of a bill aiming to address antisemitism on college campuses, leaving Indiana students and professors uneasy as divisions surrounding the ongoing Israel-Hamas war deepen. House Republicans have dissented from the version amended in the state Senate this week, and lawmakers have just days to work out their differences before the session ends. The bill — deeply personal to many Jewish, Palestinian, Muslim and Arab students during a particularly painful school year — rose to new importance with the Israel-Hamas war and after a similar version failed last year.
