academe
Realm of professors
Academe refers to the academic world—universities, colleges, and scholarly life as a collective environment.
It carries a slightly literary or ironic tone: She spent her entire career in academe.
The word suggests not just institutions but the culture of scholarship, with its particular rhythms, hierarchies, and concerns.
Academia is the more common synonym.
