I reworked my code to look like this and everything is working so far!

<?php
/**
 * Shortcode: [deptlist department=""]
 * Description: This is how stuff works with parameters
 */

function dept_option($atts){
	
	extract(shortcode_atts( array(
		'department' => 'Legal Studies',
	
	), $atts ));
	$myfinalcode = '"' . $department . '"';
	
	$args1 = array(
		'meta_key' => 'last_name',
		'orderby' => 'meta_value',
		'order' => 'ASC',
		'exclude' => array(1,8,9),
		'meta_query' => array(
			'relation' => 'AND',
			'department' => array(
				'key' => 'department',
				'value' => $myfinalcode, 
				'compare' => 'LIKE',
			),
		)
	);
	$subscribers = get_users($args1);
		echo '<ul>';
 			foreach ($subscribers as $user) {
 			echo '<li>' . $user->display_name.' ['.$user->phone_number . ']</li>';
 			}
		echo '</ul>';
	
// ENDING ROW	
}
add_shortcode( 'deptlist', 'dept_option' );
?>
