In with academics where Cornell is (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ithaca

'where cornell is' is the definition.
(Cornell University is in Ithaca, New York)

'in with academics' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ITHACA' can be found hidden inside 'with academics'.

(Other definitions for ithaca that I've seen before include "Greek island sought by Ulysses" , "In Homeric legend, Odysseus was its king" , "Odysseus's home" , "old island" , "Greek island, legendary home of Odysseus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
