Subject: extract string

Hi

Suppose that I have a file called abc.txt, which contains the following 
5 lines (columns are delimited by ",")

"name","age","school"
"jerry" ,"21","univ of Vermont"
"jesse","28","Dartmouth college"
"jack","18","univ of Penn"
"john","20","univ of south Florida"

My OS is RedHat Enterprise, how could I extract the string which 
contains "univ" and create an output file called def.txt, which only has

3 following lines:

univ of Vermont
univ of Penn
univ of south Florida

Please suggest the simplest command line approach.

Thank you.
Zhao
