In December 2015, SSI at Indiana University passed a resolution in the Indiana University Student Association adopting the U.S. State Department's definition of antisemitism and formally recognizing the global BDS movement as a form of bigotry. The resolution marked SSI's 5th resolution passed across the country,
"This resolution makes strides for our college campus as a whole and our Jewish community. It also facilitates healthy debate and distinguishes racist dialogue from genuine criticisms of Israel on a campus-wide level. By passing this resolution, our student congress accepted the State Department's definition of anti-Semitism including that of the 3D's towards Israel: demonization, delegitimization, and double standard. We are proud that on a campus with such a large Jewish population our congressmen are willing to be allies to the Jewish community." Rebekah M. | President, 2017 SSI at Indiana University
