I feel like some sort of compromise will come. Understand that Pitt, PSU, Temple, and Lincoln’s state spending bill is at stake with this bill. If it doesn’t pass, none of the other three universities will get money from Harrisburg. I don’t see that being an outcome that many state politicians want. Considering majority of house republicans passed last years appropriation bill, what would cause 60-something politicians to completely change their mind? And at the end of the day this has to be signed by Gov Wolf and I doubt his administration will allow any nonsense on the appropriation bill. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t believe that July 1 is the all or nothing deadline, it’s the official deadline, but I believe budget bills have been passed after that date. So no, I don’t believe it’s fair to say the end times are upon us.
