'ill-bred' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'university lecturer embraces endless twisted debauchery' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'uni' (informal abbreviation).
'lecturer' becomes 'l' (abbreviation for lecturer).
'embraces' indicates putting letters inside.
'endless twisted debauchery' becomes 'civ' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'uni'+'l'='unil'
'unil' enclosing 'civ' is 'UNCIVIL'.
