The lack of professors may also be caused by the whole "world-class researcher" fetish. You don't need ninja rockstars to teach intro CS.

It seems strange to me that schools can have folks with titles like "Dean of Community Outreach" but they feel compelled to wring cutting-edge research and excellent teaching out of the same people. I'd like to see the proof that world-class teachers and world-class researchers are the exact same set.
