The Great Staircase Debate: Who’s Right?

So, we have a professor who insists on holding meetings in their ninth-floor office, even when the elevator is broken and their assistant is recovering from knee surgery. The department head calls it a “dick move,” but supports the professor’s right to choose the meeting location. Colleagues have mixed opinions, and there’s a possibility of behind-the-back chatter. Now, the question is: who’s right in this situation? Was the professor just following the rules, or were they being unreasonable? And what about the department head’s choice of words? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this heated debate…
