<p>"Q: How much money has Ohio State raised toward its $2.5 billion fundraising goal? Have you changed your fundraising efforts because of the economy? </p>
<p>A: We absolutely have. We put ourselves not into a pause, but into a more quiet phase. … We have been very successful compared to most institutions. … We raised about $300 million last year. We’re 37 percent ahead of where we were last year. So we feel very confident about what we’re going to be able to do."</p>
