DB HR Recommends Exploring "Summer Alternatives" for SA

Along with the frustrated incoming DB interns in the other thread, I have reached out to HR multiple times for feedback on current plans. In my latest call, I pushed further asking about the potential alternatives for us. After breaking past the BS, she made an offhand comment on preparing "summer alternatives" in the event SA is disrupted. I followed up asking if this meant in terms of housing/technology or the entire internship itself but she kept being vague. I know when they shut down their Houston office, they gave no notice to the incoming SA and canceled their internship with only the offer to interview for FT.

Maybe I am reading too much into this, but I do not understand why they can't give us a straight answer less than 10 weeks before the internship was supposed to start? I am hoping for the best, but honestly am starting to creating a backup plan.
