Gave professor wrong date (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

donated

'gave' is the definition.
(donating is a kind of giving)

'professor wrong date' is the wordplay.
'professor' becomes 'don' (I've seen this before).
'wrong' indicates an anagram.
'date' is an anagram of 'ated'.
'don'+'ated'='DONATED'

(Other definitions for donated that I've seen before include "Gave" , "Given" , "Presented" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
