Academic point of view produces sympathy (6,7)

I believe the answer is:

fellow feeling

'sympathy' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'academic point of view' is the wordplay.
'academic' becomes 'fellow'.
'point of view' becomes 'feeling'.
'fellow'+'feeling'='FELLOW-FEELING'

'produces' is the link.

(Other definitions for fellow feeling that I've seen before include "Sympathy" , "Shared empathy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
