Think about it... That Ancient Greek History prof. doesn't really have to keep that current with the times... However the prof's in the CS/IS world? I've seen the industry change downt to the core so many times since I graduated 15 years ago that I don't know how you'd keep up as an outsider...
Yes, the prof's ARE outsiders looking in. They are training folks on the concepts needed in "the industry" without having been there for quite some time. Even the ones at Purdue, who were top.notch. were a year or two behind. You know software years are like dog-years, so that's quite a bit.
