Economist To Leave BSU’s Economic Research Center

Boise State University

Brian Greber has been the director of COBE since 2009.

The Idaho Business Review reports Economist Brian Greber is leaving Boise State University’s Center for Business Research and Economic Development.

Greber has directed COBE, part-time, since December 2009.  He told the Idaho Business Review he’s leaving the University to  do area consulting work.

“‘I wasn’t doing it for the money,” he said March 21. “It was starting to become work instead of fun.’

Greber’s last day at the center is March 30. He and a work-study student were the sole employees of the center, which is part of Boise State’s College of Business.

It could be hard to find another director of Greber’s caliber who is as inexpensive. Greber said he made about $600 a week for Boise State, with no benefits.” – Idaho Business Review

Greber told IBR.com he’ll continue to teach two classes at Boise State.
