Montgomery, AL – Governor Bob Riley says he will travel to Atlanta Friday. He's scheduled to speak with an accrediting agency about getting Auburn University off of probation. The governor will meet with officials from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. SACS placed Auburn on probation last year over concerns about micro-management from the board of trustees, among other things. Riley says he's committed to doing whatever it takes to get Auburn off of probation. He says the meeting will give him an opportunity to discuss what that university has accomplished during the past year.
