Summary of HRES 798 (118th Congress)
HRES 798 is a resolution that condemns the support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations at institutions of higher education in the United States. The resolution asserts that such support contributes to a hostile environment for Jewish students, faculty, and staff on college campuses.
The resolution does not allocate funding but serves as a formal statement of the House of Representatives, emphasizing the need for educational institutions to foster a safe and inclusive environment. It calls on universities to take proactive measures to combat antisemitism and to ensure that all students, regardless of their background, can participate in campus life without fear of discrimination or harassment.
Key provisions of HRES 798 include a denunciation of any actions or rhetoric that support terrorist organizations, particularly those that incite violence or promote hatred against Jewish individuals. The resolution highlights the responsibility of educational institutions to uphold principles of free speech while simultaneously protecting students from hate speech and intimidation.
The primary beneficiaries of this resolution are Jewish students, faculty, and staff who may face increased risks of hostility due to the presence of pro-terrorist sentiments on campus. Additionally, the resolution aims to promote a broader culture of tolerance and respect within higher education settings.
The latest action on HRES 798 involved an amendment to the title of the measure, which was agreed to without objection, indicating bipartisan support for the resolution’s objectives. While the resolution does not impose regulatory measures or direct funding, it serves as a significant statement reflecting the House’s stance on the issue of antisemitism and the responsibilities of educational institutions in addressing it.
