Affinity groups are not supported or sponsored by JMU, the Human Resources Department, or any other university office. HR’s purpose in promoting these groups is to facilitate connections between JMU employees for their mutual enjoyment. JMU assumes no responsibility for the actions of the individuals who have organized the affinity groups, and specifically has no liability for any affinity group activities. Individuals joining the group or taking part in the activities do so at their own risk.
