Morphology
The meaning 'a collective group of individuals who are academics' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'community' (a group or body) with 'scholars' (academics), with 'of' marking the relationship. This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase following common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Community of scholars comes from the simple picture of people who study or teach living and working together: community means a close group and scholars are people who study at universities. So, it means 'a group of academics who share ideas and advance knowledge'.
