What H.Res. 798 does, in plain terms

This resolution condemns the support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations at institutions of higher education, which may lead to the creation of a hostile environment for Jewish students, faculty, and staff. Additionally, the resolution calls on campus administrators to (1) condemn all forms of antisemitism on college campuses; and (2) ensure Jewish faculty, students, and guests can exercise the same free speech rights as are guaranteed to all other faculty, students, and guests without intimidation. The resolution also urges enforcement of federal civil rights laws to protect Jewish students from antisemitism.
