Where you learn fellow in charge intended to be taken seriously (8)

I believe the answer is:

unironic

'intended to be taken seriously' is the definition.

'where you learn fellow in charge' is the wordplay.
'where you learn' becomes 'uni' (university).
'fellow' becomes 'ron' (masculine given name).
'in charge' becomes 'ic'.
'uni'+'ron'+'ic'='UNIRONIC'

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
