Is university stopping lecturer creating dissension? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disunion

'dissension?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'is university stopping lecturer' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'uni' (I've seen this in other clues).
'stopping' is an insertion indicator (stopping can mean blocking a gap).
'lecturer' becomes 'don' (I've seen this before).
'is'+'uni'='isuni'
'isuni' put inside 'don' is 'DISUNION'.

'creating' is the link.

(Another definition for disunion that I've seen is " Disagreement".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
