University's sculpted nude is inappropriate (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

undue

'inappropriate' is the definition.
('undue' can be similar in meaning to 'inappropriate')

'university's sculpted nude' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'u'.
'sculpted' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'nude' anagrammed gives 'ndue'.
'u'+'ndue'='UNDUE'

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for undue that I've seen before include "Excessive - unwarranted" , "Beyond normal limits" , "Lacking justification" , "too much" , "Extreme" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
