PASSAGE
Read the following exchange between two community college department chairs negotiating over shared classroom space.
Chair A (Nursing): "We need Lab Room 204 every Tuesday and Thursday morning for clinical simulations. Without it, we can't meet accreditation requirements."
Chair B (Allied Health): "We've had that room Tuesday mornings for three years. Shifting our schedule disrupts 60 students who have arranged childcare and work schedules around it."
Chair A: "Accreditation isn't optional — this has to take priority."
Chair B: "Student hardship isn't optional either."
Both chairs are using priority claims to justify their positions, but the negotiation has stalled. A department dean observing this exchange wants to redirect both parties toward a trade-off analysis. Which intervention most effectively moves the negotiation toward a workable solution?
