Saying 'absolute path' is misleading here.  Any XPath expression is
evaluated in the context of the current document, i.e. the document
you read using univ-xml[1].  Try the other option, that is, before the
first for-each say:
  <xsl:variable name="univ2" select="univ-xml[2]"/>

then
<xsl:for-each 
  select="document($univ2])/university-records/univ-ids/univ">
  <!-- TO ITERATE THROUGH THE 2nd XML -->
