Africans in university after simple accommodation (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hutu

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'africans' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'university after simple accommodation' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'u'.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'simple accommodation' becomes 'hut' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'u' after 'hut' is 'HUTU'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hutu that I've seen before include "Member of a Bantu people living in Rwanda and Burundi" , "Africans" , "African" , "A member of one Rwandan people" , "Bantu speaker from Rwanda or Burundi" .)
