Disruptive seeing move of University in the red (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rouge

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

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

'disruptive seeing move of university in' is the wordplay.
'disruptive seeing move of' becomes 'roge' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation for university).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'roge' placed around 'u' is 'ROUGE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rouge that I've seen before include "actor may apply it" , "Powder for the cheeks" , "See 1" , "Polish used by jewellers" , "Reddish cosmetic for colouring cheeks" .)
