John Fry is skipping over some of the biggest names in his Rolodex these days. With the economy in a downward spiral, the Franklin & Marshall College president says heâ??s not calling on donors who have fallen on hard times.
â??I think in this kind of environment you have to be very sensitive to peopleâ??s situations,â? Fry said Tuesday. â??Itâ??s been a very interesting two weeks, because on one hand Iâ??ve purposely avoided visiting or soliciting [certain] people.â?¦ On the other hand, I know a significant number of other people who are in better [economic] situations, and Iâ??ve been actively soliciting them.
