Chase a moneybag round uni (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pursue

'chase' is the definition.
(I know that chase is a kind of pursue)

'a moneybag round uni' is the wordplay.
'a moneybag' becomes 'purse' (I've seen this before).
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'uni' becomes 'u' (U is an abbreviation for university).
'purse' placed around 'u' is 'PURSUE'.

(Other definitions for pursue that I've seen before include "Seek" , "Try to win" , "Be engaged in - hunt" , "Search for" , "Follow up on or go after" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
