Questionnaire perhaps about university meeting (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

forum

'meeting' is the definition.
(forum is a kind of meeting)

'questionnaire perhaps about university' is the wordplay.
'questionnaire perhaps' becomes 'form' (questionnaire is a kind of form).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'university' becomes 'u'.
'form' enclosing 'u' is 'FORUM'.

(Other definitions for forum that I've seen before include "place for debate" , "Place for open discussion" , "Public meeting-place for open discussion" , "Place to discuss ideas" , "Court - conference" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
