Academic priest set up outline (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

profile

'outline' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'academic priest set up' is the wordplay.
'academic' becomes 'prof'.
'priest' becomes 'eli' (I've seen this before).
'set up' is a reversal indicator.
'eli' backwards is 'ile'.
'prof'+'ile'='PROFILE'

(Other definitions for profile that I've seen before include "In which one may be photographed" , "Level of public recognition" , "image" , "Sideways view" , "Short biographical sketch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
