Grounded flyer from Salem University (3)

I believe the answer is:

emu

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

'grounded flyer' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'from salem university' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'EMU' is hidden within 'salem university'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for emu that I've seen before include "Extinct bird" , "Australian running bird." , "Big bird" , "Aussie bird" , "Ostrich-like bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
