Spot for an Aussie academic (3)

I believe the answer is:

uni

(Other definitions for uni that I've seen before include "Reading is one" , "College, colloquially" , "University (abbreviation)" , "Number of colleges" , "Place of higher education (abbr)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
