The Sibley Commission was set up by Gov Vandiver in 1960 to gauge Georgia's attitudes towards desegregating the public school system. In the end, Vandiver accepted the Commissions' findings, which were a practical integration to avoid Federal Government intrusion, and keeping the public schools in Georgia opened. When Vandiver ordered UGA to close it's doors in response to forced integration, attitudes about closing public schools changed. Many on the Commission were UGA grads who did not want to see the school fold.
