too many professors...
Flamingo:
Pescado has a hack for that, I believe. It's called localwalkbys, though I don't know if that's technically what you're talking about.

Well, I'd guess then that the game needs all 24 professors to run University properly.
Yep, that's pretty much the it of it. I don't think there is a way to avoid this. Unless you could conceivably link only two professors to serve all the majors? But it just sounds messy.

If that's true, then is there a way to keep them confined to the university, or to keep them from showing up anywhere else in the game?
You could use twojeffs visitor controller thingamabob and just ban them like from everywhere. If it doesn't already exist, maybe you could request a ban uni prof specific painting/object.

I have that. Does localwalkbys restrict Uni profs to the Uni subhood? I don't remember. If it does, then that would probably be the simpler answer, since I assume it does so by default. With twojeffs controller, you probably have to ban the profs individually?

Flamingo:
Well, yes, that's what it should do. It should restrict YAs to the University subhood, Downtownies and anyone that lives downtown in the NL subhood, and does the same for Bluewater.
Sagana:
I haven't been able to find any way to get less profs or do anything with them at all :( Totally clean neighborhood, all of JMs 'don't give me extra' hacks etc. and I'm still stuck with the EA profs (I almost wish they'd just redo the Uni EP, it's so bad. I'd like to have a good one.) The problem with local walkbys is that it'll do all the Uni folk, not just the profs - including your young adults and your created dormies (if you make your own). There might be an option for not allowing Uni NPCs on Two Jeffs visitor controller?
Magicmoon:
I used the tutorial here to do the clean neighborhood the right way with the empty templates. When I put a student into a dorm I got a lag while all those profs were created, and I do use no redundancy.
To keep the professors off the property, I use TwoJeffs controller. Just click the active Sim and choose ban professors, as well as mascots, cheerleaders, and streakers. I didn't see any of his paintings to control these characters, so you have to set the ban on each Uni lot that you play. Using a no townie painting has kept the profs off of the Uni comm lots for me.
I am currently playing Uni and no one other than my playables ever walk onto my lots.
