Errr... What's stopping you? There is Critical Hit Rate on plenty of Scholar gear, including AF gear. You can meld Savage Aim to plenty of gear, too. Heck, Omnilex +1 offers 37 Spell Speed while the Allagan weapon for Scholar offers 37 Critical Hit Rate, other than that they're identical... Usually I'd dismiss Omnilex +1 out of sheer spite for how worthless Spell Speed has shown to be thus far, but if any Class gets anything out of Spell Speed, it's Arcanist/Scholar; Enhances Pet Actions (also benefits from Critical Hit Rate) and Fey Glow offer us nice boosts to Spell Speed, so maybe the stat will be noticeable on Scholar (not holding my breath on that, though).
