University teachers in quad on Saturday (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dons

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

'university teachers' is the definition.
'dons' can be an answer for 'teachers' (don is a kind of teacher). I am unsure of the 'university' bit.

'in quad on saturday' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'DONS' is hidden within 'quad on saturday'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dons that I've seen before include "University teachers - Mafia bosses" , "Academics" , "Assumes" , "British university teachers and Spanish noblemen" , "Puts on -- lecturers" .)
