Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'faculty' (the teachers/staff of an institution) + 'member' (a person in a group) yields 'a person who belongs to the faculty.' This straightforward noun+member construction is common and predictable cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should understand it.
Etymology
The term faculty member comes from the idea of faculty as the group of teachers at a university and member as someone who belongs to that group. So, a faculty member is 'an educator who is part of the academic staff'.
