Dorm monitors, for short (3)

I believe the answer is:

ras

'dorm monitors for short' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ras that I've seen before include "Abyssinian prince" , "Ethiopian king's title" , "prince from Ethiopia" , "headland" , "Ethiopian prince" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the New York Times and The Chronicle of Higher Education.
