The NAACP recognizes the importance of the economy and economic issues in advancing an equal opportunity society. We also acknowledge the fact that many Americans have historically been disenfranchised from the economic opportunity and the corresponding great wealth found in our country. Economic inequality has been exacerbated with the onset of the recent economic crisis. The NAACP has developed a number of programs designed to elevate civil and human rights issues as they pertain to economic opportunity. As the nation recovers from the worst fiscal crisis in more than three decades, the NAACP will advocate for policies and practice that advance an economy that can help bring the country together rather than further current and historical divides.
It is the responsibility of the Employment and Economic Empowerment Committee to ensure that employment discrimination does not occur on or around campus, inform campus on economic opportunities and disparities, and policies that will affect financial aid. This committee shall also see ways to empower minorities at Valdosta State University economically:
- Through informative workshops and forums,
- Job/internship workshops and,
- Sharing information on creative ways of financing in college.
