I never saw it except in re-runs. But it sounds like what you're describing. Stranger(s) who come into town, perhaps on some quest of their own, solve people's problems, then move on; stranger(s) have very good reason to keep moving. Kung Fu, Knight Rider, Viper, Quantum Leap, The Pretender--many shows used this premise.
The conditions I described are fairly common at medium-sized/medium-eschelon universities. The big, old-line, heavily-endowed schools can tell people like Mr. Ventris what to do with his money. The elite schools may have students who like to party, but they also make them work. The small, residential liberal arts colleges still preserve the tradition of a teaching/learning community. But mid-grade schools like Ranier. . . .
Both my parents were college professors, and I've worked in higher education myself.
The story is getting very 'talk-talk'--Blair discussing his situation and options with Jim, with Simon, probably with Eli, and perhaps with a few others.
I haven't resolved Blair's future status with CPD. Does he go through the Academy, or does he become some sort of civilian attache?
