'ill-bred' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'university lecturer embraces endless twisted debauchery' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'uni' (informal abbreviation).
'lecturer' becomes 'l' (abbreviation for lecturer).
'embraces' is an insertion indicator.
'endless twisted debauchery' becomes 'civ' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'uni'+'l'='unil'
'unil' going around 'civ' is 'UNCIVIL'.
