Scorn utter dunce ridiculously unwilling to accept change (15)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unreconstructed

'unwilling to accept change' is the definition.

'scorn utter dunce ridiculously' is the wordplay.
'ridiculously' indicates an anagram.
'scorn'+'utter'+'dunce'='scornutterdunce'
'scornutterdunce' with letters rearranged gives 'UNRECONSTRUCTED'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
