Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'academic' qualifies 'administrator' to indicate an administrator working in an academic setting, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the referent. This adjective‑noun pattern is a common, cross‑linguistic construction with no idiomatic or metaphorical shift, making the MWE transparent.
Etymology
The term academic administrator comes from the two words academic (about school or university) and administrator (a person who runs or manages things). Imagine someone with a clipboard moving between classrooms and offices to keep courses, teachers and rules working, so the phrase means 'a person who manages and looks after academic affairs in a college or university'.
